Open Source C Audio Conversion Software

LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to improve the psycho acoustics, quality and speed of MP3 encoding. Note: we provide source code only!

FLAC is a free lossless compressed audio format which supports streaming and archival. The FLAC project maintains the format and provides a reference encoder/decoder and input plugins for several popular audio players.

LSP (Linux Studio Plugins) is a collection of open-source plugins currently compatible with LADSPA, LV2 and LinuxVST formats. Standalone plugins for JACK are provided since version 1.0.8. Experimental support of ARMv7 added since version 1.1.4 Experimental support of AArch64 added since version 1.1.9 Decomposition of modules and new UI introduced in 1.2.0 Added CLAP support in 1.2.5 Added VST3 support in 1.2.15 The basic idea is to fill the lack of good and useful plugins under the GNU/Linux platform. After some contributions to other open source projects the decision was made to implement separate and independent plugin distribution.

IMYplay is a player for iMelody (IMY) ringtones / files (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMelody). IMYplay can use the following outputs to produce sound: 1. The Allegro game library (http://alleg.sf.net), 2. SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer; http://www.libsdl.org), 3. ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture; http://alsa-project.org), 4. OSS (Open Sound System), 5. Libao (http://xiph.org/ao), 6. PortAudiov19 (http://www.portaudio.com), 7. PulseAudio (http://www.pulseaudio.org), 8. JACK1/JACK2 (http://jackaudio.org), 9. GStreamer (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org), 10. PC-Speaker (at least Linux and DOS). It can also: - convert IMY ringtones to MIDI files, - convert IMY ringtones to WAV files, - write raw samples to an output file, - execute an external program on each note.
