The Speex project aims to build an open-source, patent-free voice
codec. Unlike other codecs like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, Speex is
specially designed for compressing voice at low bitrates in the
8-32 kbps/channel range. Possible applications include Voice over
IP (VoIP), internet audio streaming, archiving of speech data (e.g.
voice mail), and audio books. In some sense, it is meant to be
complementary to the Ogg Vorbis codec.
* Properly handle local discography when installing/deinstalling the binary
package.
* Use bsd.pkg.install.mk to preserve local configuration files when
reinstalling xmcd.
* Use the id3lib distributed with the audacity sources instead of
audio/id3lib (this seems to fix audacity coredumps when exporting
to MP3 after editting ID3 tags).
* Install the documentation and license file.
Changes from version 0.96 include:
* Bug fixes
* New effects: invert, reverse, noise removal
* Ogg Vorbis import/export support.
* Added "Save Changes" dialog.
* Added tooltips.
* Use libmad instead of libmpeg3 if not using xaudio.
XXX OSS audio playback doesn't work on NetBSD with audio/oss. The process
XXX hangs in "sndint" state according to top(1).
<soundcard.h>, which causes errors since the definitions in the OSS
sys/soundcard.h conflict with the definitions in the system soundcard.h.
We fix this by making <sys/soundcard.h> and <soundcard.h> point to the
same file and rely on multiple inclusion protection to prevent conflicts.
* Make the oss rc.d script smarter: check that soundconf has been run
before starting, and check that the OSS LKM is loaded before unloading
it when stopping.
* Ensure the OSS LKM is unloaded before deinstalling.
Open Sound System(TM) (OSS) is the first attempt in unifying the digital
audio architecture for UNIX. OSS is a set of device drivers that provide a
uniform API across all the major UNIX architectures. It supports Sound
Blaster or Windows Sound System compatible sound cards which can be plugged
into any UNIX workstation supporting the ISA or PCI bus architecture. OSS
also supports workstations with on-board digital audio hardware.
The pkgsrc OSS installs the evaluation version of OSS available from
ftp.opensound.com, but allows for updating the license file to a permanent
license.
Fix logic error which would result in asking for more songs
from the same artist or album to only select songs not
previously rated, instead of unrated songs followed by SUPERB
or GOOD songs (if there were unsufficient unrated songs).
