PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It provides a low-latency, graph-based processing engine on top of audio and video devices that can be used to support the use cases currently handled by both PulseAudio and JACK. PipeWire was designed with a powerful security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy, with support for Flatpak applications being the primary goal. Alongside Wayland and Flatpak, we expect PipeWire to provide a core building block for the future of Linux application development.
Capture and playback of audio and video with minimal latency.
Real-time multimedia processing on audio and video.
Multiprocess architecture to let applications share multimedia content.
Seamless support for PulseAudio, JACK, ALSA, and GStreamer applications.
Sandboxed applications support. See Flatpak for more info.
BeatDrop is a stand-alone implementation of the amazing Milkdrop2 Winamp plug-in. It lets you experience stunning visual 2D effects with your music player of choice. No additional configuration steps needed! Just start BeatDrop and play your music.
Receiptify is a tool that displays a Apple Music, last.fm or a Spotify user’s 10 most-played tracks from the last month, last 6 months, and all time in a Receipt-like format.
Volume² is an freeware app which is an advanced Windows volume control, a complete replacement for the default Volume Control on Windows. This application lets you easily change the sound volume just by rotating the mouse wheel or by using keyboard hot keys or just mouse move on screen border. The app comes with customization themes and interface and also other options like setting hotkey for changing volume.
Multitone Analyzer is an app designed to explore audio electronics performance by producing quick measurements using a simple loop-back configuration. MA produces a specific set of test tones that are sent to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that are then passed through one or more analog components and then received by MA and analyzed. MA both, plays the signals and records them for analysis. DAC and ADC are required for this to work.
Measurements that MA can produce: TD+N, IMD, N+D, delay, clock drift, frequency response, etc.
Audio support for WASAPI, ASIO, and Direct Audio devices with sampling rates of up to 384kHz/32 bits
Test signals: arbitrarily large multi-tone signal, simple sine waves, two-tone IMD test signals, 3-tone IMD test signals, square wave, triangle wave
FFT sizes of up to 1M
For distortion measurements a range of frequencies to measure can be selected
