EasyH10 is an open source project for the development of a software suite for
iRiver H10 digital audio players. It creates the database layout for an H10
player, without the need for iRiver Plus or Windows Media Player 10, based on
music and playlist files transferred manually (e.g., drag-and-drop operation,
copy command, rsync utility, etc). EasyH10 is compatible with iriver H10 5GB,
6GB, and 20GB models shipped worldwide as well as various platforms such as
Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Linux, MacOS X, and other POSIX-like operating
systems.

LMMS aims to be a free alternative to popular (but commercial and
closed- source) programs like FruityLoops, Cubase and Logic giving you
the ability of producing music with your computer by
creating/synthesizing sounds, arranging samples, using effects, playing
live with keyboard and much more...
LMMS combines the features of a sequencer-program (pattern-/channel-/
sample-/song-/effect-management) and those of powerful synthesizers and
samplers in a modern, user-friendly and easy to use graphical
user-interface.
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
had actually been ignoring LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE anyway and just using
the default LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE to replace libtool scripts in packages.
This just formalizes the fact that LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE is not used
meaningfully by pkgsrc.

version 0.5.0-alpha1:

- New file name format variable %albumtracks (#951)
The world is drowning in individual music files astray with corrupt
metadata, insignificant file names, and no way to identify the
music.
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.
MusicDNS is the largest single dataset of acoustic fingerprints in
the world with more than 16 million individual tracks identified
and growing DAILY! With the Open Fingerprint client-code, tracks
can be identified consistently against the MusicDNS dataset, and
new tracks are easily added.
The Open Fingerprint is deployed world-wide--and now the client
source code is available under Open Source license.
Use the fingerprint code freely, or hook it up to the largest
repository of fingerprinted tracks on the planet--MusicDNS. Free
client keys for developers and non-profits are available on the
website. For commercial deployment, use the low-cost MusicDNS.com
service from MusicIP.

a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.

zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto

that ran configure, which failed on Darwin because imake didn't pass all
variables in CONFIGURE_ENV.
This fixes PR 33812. The package still does not build on Darwin due to
link errors.
You'll need a set of gst plugins, depending on what you do.
Eg gst-plugins0.10-flac for FLAC encoding, -ogg for OGG... Making
all these full dependencies would revert the whole sense of "plugins".
set OVERRIDE_DIRDEPTH to find any libtool scripts deeper in the WRKSRC
tree unless they're named something other than "libtool".
SHLIBTOOL_OVERRIDE generally doesn't need to be specified either -- just
define it to the empty list and shlibtool-override will look for libtool
scripts.

This package provides the 1.99.x development branch of easytag, an utility
to easily and quickly view, edit and write your audio files' tags from a

The major change in this branch is the use of GTK+ 2.x as opposed to 1.x.
Based on the easytag-gtk2 package found in pkgsrc-wip.
OK'ed by wiz@, who becomes the maintainer of this new package.
This is a major update, too many individual changes to list here.
Most notably: uses the gstreamer-0.10 framework now.
(That's still not that great software, there is an appearent ressource
leak which makes switching between play channels fail after a while.)
building with GCC 4.1.x. While doing this fix some of the portability
problems for big endian system.
This package needs a lot of work before it will work with either
big-endian or LP64. It should probably be removed because it seesm
to be unmaintained since 2001.

as expected by the pkginstall framework. Fix the DEINSTALL script.
Also, use REQD_DIRS to manage the Input/Meta directory instead of
using @unexecJ lines in the PLIST.

McIntyre and Erik Auerswald.

issue in auvoxware.c

functionality to aupanel.

correcting some typos in the AuSetBucketAttributes and
AuSoundCreateFileFromBucket man pages.
readline library by looking for <readline/chardefs.h>. However, the
jack_transport sources only use the basic readline functionality that
is already supported by editline. Fix this situation lying to the
configure script and pretending that editline is readline by forcing
the chardefs.h header to be "found". This fixes the breakage in
krister's bulk build from 2006-05-28.

Csound is a software synthesis package in the tradition of so-called
music-N languages, among which the best-known is Music V. It consists
of an orchestra- and score-driven executable, written in C for
portability. Since Csound is a computational language, it is highly
flexible and efficient; complexity is gained only at the expense of
computation time.
To do:
- fix pthread issues in csound5 (is breaking realtime audio)
- use options.mk framework for various modules
- enable portaudio module (requires audio/portaudio-devel)
- port portmidi to netbsd
as portaudio version 19), a portable cross-platform Audio API.
PortAudio is a free, cross platform, open-source, audio I/O library. It
lets you write simple audio programs in 'C' that will compile and run on
many platforms including Windows, Macintosh (8,9,X), Unix (OSS), SGI, and
BeOS. PortAudio is intended to promote the exchange of audio synthesis
software between developers on different platforms, and was recently
selected as the audio component of a larger PortMusic project that includes
MIDI and sound file support.
PortAudio provides a very simple API for recording and/or playing sound
using a simple callback function. Example programs are included that
synthesize sine waves and pink noise, perform fuzz distortion on a guitar,
list available audio devices, etc.
