- Ecasound
- Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package.
- FLAC
- The FLAC project consists of:
- the stream format
- reference encoders and decoders in library form
- flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files
- metaflac, a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files
- input plugins for various music players
- Flac-jacket
- 'flac-jacket' uses raw audio files (raw files are created from data streams) as the source. Based on the filename format, it first creates lossless audio files, using FLAC, and optionally removes the source files if conversion was successful. It then creates a new html page with links to all new and existing .flac files. The html page is regenerated each run, so the listing is somewhat dynamic: you needn't edit the html page just because you removed or renamed a FLAC audio file or altered an artist directory.

One example of where such a thing would be useful is converting audio from the CD sample rate of 44.1kHz to the 48kHz sample rate used by DAT players. SRC is capable of arbitrary and time varying conversions; from downsampling by a factor of 256 to upsampling by the same factor. Arbitrary in this case means that the ratio of input and output sample rates can be an irrational number. The conversion ratio can also vary with time for speeding up and slowing down effects.
