VideoLAN is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
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. Several open-source audio packages, like for instance ALSA, OSS, mpg123, lame, libaudiofile and MikMod, are directly supported. One of the advantages of ecasound's chain-based design is that effects can easily be combined both in series and in parallel. Oscillators and MIDI-CCs can be used for controlling effect parameters. Included user-interfaces are ecasound - a versatile console mode interface, qtecasound - a Qt-based X-interface and various command-line utils suitable for batch processing. Author: Kai Vehmanen
SooperLooper is a live looping sampler capable of immediate loop recording, overdubbing, multiplying, reversing and more. It allows for multiple simultaneous multi-channel loops limited only by your computer's available memory. The feature-set and operation was inspired by the impressive Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro (EDP). When used with a low-latency audio configuration SooperLooper is capable of truly realtime live performance looping. The application is a standalone JACK client with an engine controllable via OSC and MIDI. It also includes a GUI which communicates with the engine via OSC (even over a network) for user-friendly control on a desktop. However, this kind of live performance looping tool is most effectively used via hardware (midi footpedals, etc) and the engine can be run standalone on a computer without a monitor.

unicap provides a uniform API for all kinds of video capture devices. The API was designed keeping simplicity in mind so that developers can focus on their actual image processing tasks when using video capture devices. Device drivers are handled via a plugin mechanism. Support for new devices can be added on the fly, without recompilation of the library. The API remains the same for each device so that an application using unicap immediately works with all devices supported by unicap. Author: Arne Caspari
The intention of AqBanking is to provide a middle layer between the program and the various Online Banking libraries (e.g. AqHBCI, OpenHBCI etc). The real work is done in banking backends. The first backend which is already supported is AqHBCI, a library which implements a client for the German HBCI (Home Banking Computer Interface) protocol. The backend AqHBCI currently supports these security media: * RDH keyfile (RSA-DES-Hybrid mode) * DDV chipcard (DES-DES-Verfahren) * RSA chipcard (RSA-DES-Hybrid mode) * OpenHBCI keyfile (either OpenHBCI 1 or 2) * PIN/TAN (PIN/TAN mode using HTTP over SSL) This package contains the following backends: * AqHBCI (German Online Banking protocol HBCI 2.01, 2.10 and 2.20) * AqDTAUS (creates DTAUS discs and prints the necessary documents) * AqOfxConnect (OFX Direct Connect) * AqGeldKarte (shows account information from a GeldKarte) AqBanking uses various plugins to simplify import and export of financial data. It also provides the administration of profiles on a per import/export plugin basis. Currently there are plugins for the following formats: * Importers: - DTAUS (German financial format) - SWIFT (MT940 and MT942) - OFX - CSV - OpenHBCI1 transactions - ERI * Exporters - DTAUS (German financial format) - CSV AqBanking supports plugins which allow lookup and verification of bank code/account id pair validity. For Germany the library KtoBlzCheck is used. Currently AqBanking provides informations about: - ca 25,000 US banks - ca 20,000 German banks - ca 3,600 Swiss banks - ca 2,300 Austrian banks AqBanking also provides information about countries: Country name, ISO-3166 country code (both numeric and alpha) and currency information (ISO 4217 currency codes).

SCons is a make replacement that provides a range of enhanced features, such as automated dependency generation and built-in compilation cache support. SCons rule sets are Python scripts, which means that SCons provides itself as well as the features. SCons allows you to use the full power of Python to control compilation.

Battle Tanks is a funny battle on your desk, where you can choose one of three vehicles and eliminate your enemy using the whole arsenal of weapons. has original cartoon-like graphics and cool music, it is fun and dynamic, it has several network modes for deathmatch and cooperative .. what else is needed to have fun with your friends? And all is packed and ready for you in Battle Tanks.
FMOD is a cross platform audio library and toolset to let you easily implement the latest audio technologies into your title. The FMOD Ex sound system is a revolutionary new audio engine for game developers, multimedia developers, sound designers, musicians and audio engineers, based on the years of experienced of Firelight Technologies(tm) previous product FMOD. It also aims high - to push the boundaries of audio implementation for games and the like while at the same time using minimal resources and being scalable. This new engine is written from the ground up since FMOD 3 was released and involves years of experience and feedback from FMOD users to create the most feature filled and easy to use product possible, without the rawbacks of legacy implementation that FMOD 3 may have suffered from its years of continuous development.

The Editable Terrain Manager is an addon library for OGRE which manages and displays terrain based on heightmap data. It can be used as a replacement for the Terrain Scene Manager, but its main advantage is the edit possibility for the terrain: You can deform and set the terrain heights in real time, as you would need to if you are developing an editor application. In addition, the library also has means to support editable splatting, probably the current standard for detailed terrain texturing. All of the parts have been designed to be as flexible as possible and do not even depend upon each other. That means you don't need to use splatting if you don't want to - or you can use that part with a different terrain renderer. Unlike OGRE's TSM, it's not a scene manager, either, so you could (in theory) choose whatever scene manager you like. All its headers are light-weight, using the PIMPL idiom to hide costly implementation details. Author: Holger Frydrych
Bazaar-NG is a distributed revision control system that is powerful, friendly,and scalable. It is the successor of the bazaar RCS which, in turn, was a user-friendly reimplementation of GNU Arch.
GTK+ interface for the Bazaar version control system. Plugin for Bazaar that provides a standalone application and nautilus integration for viewing Bazaar branches.
