Involved Projects and Packages

libdvbpsi is a simple library designed for decoding and generating
MPEG TS and DVB PSI tables. Current features: * Program
Association Table (PAT), decoder and generator.

* Program Map Table (PMT), decoder and generator.

* All MPEG 2 descriptors, decoders and generators.

This package contains shared libraries for accessing DVD images (this
package does not contain DeCSS algorithms).

LibEMF is a C/C++ library that provides a drawing toolkit based on
ECMA-234. The general purpose of this library is to create vector
graphics files on POSIX systems that can be imported into StarOffice or
OpenOffice. The Enhanced MetaFile (EMF) is one of the two color vector
graphics format that is "vectorially" understood by SO and OO. The EMF
format also has the additional advantage that it can be "broken" into
its constituent components and edited like any other SO or OO graphics
object.

Contains libraries and binaries for a GSM speech compressor. libgsm
contains a standard implementation of the European GSM 06.10
provisional standard for full-rate speech transcoding, prI-ETS 300 036,
which uses RPE/LTP (residual pulse excitation/long term prediction)
coding at 13 kbit/s. GSM 06.10 compresses frames of 160 13-bit samples
(8 kHz sampling rate, which is a frame rate of 50 Hz) into 260 bits.
For compatibility with typical UNIX applications, our implementation
turns frames of 160 16-bit linear samples into 33-byte frames (1650
Bytes/s). The quality of the algorithm is good enough for reliable
speaker recognition. Even music often survives transcoding in
recognizable form (given the bandwidth limitations of 8 kHz sampling
rate). The interfaces offered are a front-end modeled after compress(1)
and a library API. Compression and decompression run faster than
real-time on most SPARC stations. The implementation has been verified
against the ETSI standard test patterns.

Kate is a codec for karaoke and text encapsulation for Ogg. Most of the
time, this would be multiplexed with audio/video to carry subtitles,
song lyrics (with or without karaoke data), etc, but doesn't have to be
A possible use of a lone Kate stream would be an e-book. Moreover, the
motion feature gives Kate a powerful means to describe arbitrary curves,
so hand drawing of shapes can be achieved.

This was originally meant for karaoke use, but can be used for any
purpose. Motions can be attached to various semantics, like position,
color, etc, so scrolling or fading text can be defined.

Libmodplug is the library behind -- Modplug-XMMS is a fully featured, complete
input plugin for XMMS which plays mod-like music formats. It is based on the
mod rendering code from ModPlug, a popular windows mod player written by
Olivier Lapicque, found at http://www.modplug.com/.

Musepack is an audio compression format with a strong emphasis on high
quality. It is not lossless, but it is designed for transparency, so
that you cannot hear differences between the original WAV file and the
much smaller MPC file.

It is based on the MPEG-1 Layer-2 / MP2 algorithms, but since 1997 it
has rapidly developed and vastly improved and is now at an advanced
stage in which it contains heavily optimized and patentless code.

Musepack is not particularly optimized for low bit rates. The encoder
was designed to be transparent at the --standard setting, thus little
low bit rate tuning has gone into the codec, unlike that of AAC,
Vorbis, WMA, and others that focus more on this region.

The purpose of libmspack is to provide both compression and
decompression of some loosely related file formats used by Microsoft.
Currently the most common formats are implemented.

MusicBrainz is the second generation incarnation of the CD Index. This
server is designed to enable audio CD, MP3 and Vorbis players to
download metadata about the music they are playing.

MusicDNS and the Open Fingerprint Architecture provide a system for
identifying a piece of music with nothing more than the sound of the
piece itself.

This library is by design compatible with the MusicDNS web service.
Non-commercial access to the service is available at
http://www.musicdns.org.

Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for various
CPUs. These functions are generally loops implementing simple
algorithms, such as converting an array of N integers to floating-point
numbers or multiplying and summing an array of N numbers. Such
functions are candidates for significant optimization using various
techniques, especially by using extended instructions provided by
modern CPUs (Altivec, MMX, SSE, etc.).

Many multimedia applications and libraries already do similar things
internally. The goal of this project is to consolidate some of the code
used by various multimedia projects and also make optimizations easier
to use by a broader range of applications.

libopenraw is a library that aim at decoding digital camera RAW files.

Libp11 is a library implementing a small layer on top of PKCS#11 API to
make using PKCS#11 implementations easier.

The official name for PKCS#11 is "RSA Security Inc. PKCS #11
Cryptographic Token Interface (Cryptoki)".

Libp11 source code includes the official header files (version 2.20)
and thus is "derived from the RSA Security Inc. PKCS #11 Cryptographic
Token Interface (Cryptoki)".

A library for working with panoramas.

This package allows you to create packages able to play music from C64
games and demos on your PC.

You can find a comprehensive archive on the WWW at:

MusicBrainz is the second generation incarnation of the CD Index. This
server is designed to enable Audio CD, MP3, and Vorbis players to
download metadata about the music they are playing.

Libusb is a library that allows userspace access to USB devices.

A compatibility layer allowing applications written for libusb-0.1 to
work with libusb-1.0. libusb-compat-0.1 attempts to look, feel, smell
and walk like libusb-0.1.

Voikko is a Finnish spellchecker and hyphenator based on Malaga and
Suomi-Malaga.

LPROF is the only open source ICC profiler with a graphical user
interface. It can be used to create profiles for cameras, scanners, and
monitors, and fills a necessary niche in the emerging open source color
management effort.

LV2 is a standard for plugins and matching host applications,
primarily targeted at audio processing and generation.
This package is the "core" LV2 specification in usual source package form.
The major version of this package refers to the LV2 specification revision
contained, while the minor version refers only to this package.
Application authors aren't required to depend on this package
(including lv2.h in source distributions is acceptable)
but any system with LV2 plugins should have the LV2 bundle contained in
this package installed somewhere in the LV2 path
(it contains plugin classes and other useful information).

Malaga is a software package for the development and application of
grammars that are used for the analysis of words and sentences of
natural languages. It contains a programming language for the modelling
of morphology and syntax grammars.

Malaga is based on the grammatical theory of the "Left Associative
Grammar" (LAG), developed by Roland Hausser, professor for
Computational Linguistics at University of Erlangen, Germany.

Suomi-Malaga is a description of Finnish morphology written in Malaga.

Mftrace is a small Python program that lets you trace a TeX bitmap font
into a PFA or PFB font (A PostScript Type1 Scalable Font) or TTF
(TrueType) font.

nspluginwrapper is an Open Source compatibility plugin for Netscape 4
(NPAPI) plugins. It enables you to use plugins on platforms they were
not built for. For example, you can use the plugins compiled for i386
in Mozilla on Linux/x86_64 or other architectures. This package
consists of:

* npviewer: the plug-in viewer

* npwrapper.so: the browser-side plug-in

* nspluginwrapper: a tool to manage plug-ins installation and update
