The Audio File Library provides a uniform and elegant API for accessing a variety of audio file formats, such as AIFF/AIFF-C, WAVE, NeXT/Sun .snd/.au, Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File, Audio Visual Research, Amiga IFF/8SVX, and NIST SPHERE. Supported compression formats are currently G.711 mu-law and A-law and IMA and MS ADPCM.

Key goals of the Audio File Library are file format transparency and data format transparency. The same calls for opening a file, accessing and manipulating audio metadata (e.g. sample rate, sample format, textual information, MIDI parameters), and reading/writing sample data will work with any supported audio file format. Likewise, the format of the audio data presented to the application need not be tied to the format of the data contained in the file.

The Audio File Library distributed under the GNU Library General Public License.

Test::Parser is a collection of parsers for different test output file formats. These parse the data into a general purpose data structure that can then be used to create reports, do post-processing analysis, etc.

Test-Parser can also export tests in SpikeSources TRPI test description XML language.

File::Comments is a Perl module that ecognizes file formats and extracts format-specific comments.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Comments;

my $snoop = File::Comments->new();

# *----------------
# | program.c:
# | /* comment */
# | main () {}
# *----------------
my $comments = $snoop->comments("program.c");
# => [" comment "]

# *----------------
# | script.pl:
# | # comment
# | print "howdy!n"; # another comment
# *----------------
my $comments = $snoop->comments("script.pl");
# => [" comment", " another comment"]

# or strip comments from a file:
my $stripped = $snoop->stripped("script.pl");
# => "print "howdy!n";"

# or just guess a files type:
my $type = $snoop->guess_type("program.c");
# => "c"

File::Comments guesses the type of a given file, determines the format used for comments, extracts all comments, and returns them as a reference to an array of chunks. Alternatively, it strips all comments from a file.

Currently supported are Perl scripts, C/C++ programs, Java, makefiles, JavaScript, Python and PHP.

The plugin architecture used by File::Comments makes it easy to add new formats. To support a new format, a new plugin module has to be installed. No modifications to the File::Comments codebase are necessary, new plugins will be picked up automatically.

File::Comments can also be used to simply guess a files type. It it somewhat more flexible than File::MMagic and File::Type. File types in File::Comments are typically based on file name suffixes (*.c, *.pl, etc.). If no suffix is available, or a given suffix is ambiguous (e.g. if several plugins have registered a handler for the same suffix), then the files content is used to narrow down the possibilities and arrive at a decision.

WARNING: THIS MODULE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, QUALITY IS ALPHA. IF YOU FIND BUGS, OR WANT TO CONTRIBUTE PLUGINS, PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAY.

Glame is a multi-track wave-editor with synthesis capabilities.

Glame is targeted to be the GIMP for audio processing. Glame supports non destructive multitrack editing, recording and mixing; realtime effects using native or LADSPA plugins; OSS, ALSA or SGI audio and WAV, Mp3 and Ogg file formats.

Carina is an application written in C++ for viewing various 3D graphic file formats. While focusing on the xVRML file format, it also supports the X3D and VRML97 formats.

Mostly for viewing files, it also contains some debug support to help people creating xVRML content. Carina project can save any file it can open as xVRML. xVRML is an XML-based virtual reality language.

Classroom testing has shown that new users who are already familiar with HTML can become proficient in xVRML with just a few weeks of study and practice.

MPFC is an abbrevation for Music Player For Console. MPFC project is a full-featured curses-based playlist-oriented player.

MPFC supports a number of input file formats. This support is organised through input plugins model.

It means that the formats list - you must simply add a new plugin. Also there are plugins for output and effects.
