Free jack sound server software for linux

Ice Sound Manager was designed to ease the management of sound events, sound themes, and the IceSound server in the IceWM environment under Linux/Unix. It is also intended to be an improvement upon the noble, but primitive icesndcfg.
The main improvements over icesndcfg include a support for sound event "themes", more comprehensive help, easy management and configuration of the IceSound server, a cleaner GUI interface, automatic starting of the IceSound server, and a more conservative approach to disk space usage. In addition, Ice Sound Manager includes a built-in "Setup" program which runs the first time you run Ice Sound Manager.
The application is written in Python (making it more easily ported across various platforms and architectures) and uses GTK through the PyGTK libraries. This application is available in both .tar.bz2, RPM, and static binary (for people without Python/PyGtk).
Please note that the tar.gz file does NOT need to be compiled (this is python, remember). System requirements are as follows: Python 2.2, PyGTK-2 1.9.9/2.0.0, IceWM (or IceWM-Gnome) 1.2.0 or better - with the IceSound Server executable (generally called, icesound or icesound-gnome). IceWM version 1.2.6 or better is highly recommended.
NONE of the following is required: Gnome, Gnome libs, or PyGnome (python-gnome). This application has NOT been tested with earlier versions of Python, IceWM, PyGTK, and IceSound Server. I cant say that it wont work with earlier versions, but I certainly cant say that it will. This application has NO dependencies on Gnome. 8-)

Ice Sound Manager has been designed and tested in the following environment(s): Mandrake 8.1, SuSe 8.1, Kernel 2.4.8 / 2.4.19, Glibc 2.2.4 / 2.2.5, XFree86 4.0.1 - 4.3.0, Python 2.2 - 2.2.1, PyGtk 0.6.9/PyGtk-2 2.0.0, Gtk version 1.2.8-4-1.2.10, Gtk+2 version 2.0.6, IceWM 1.0.9 - 1.2.15, IceWM-Gnome 1.0.9 / 1.2.2, with both icesound and icesound-gnome sound server executables. The test computers (3) were all Pentium 1, ranging in memory from 64MB to 256MB - nothing spectacular. It should run well on very old computers.
Requierments:
- Access to a Bash shell (very important), Python (2.2 or better), PyGtk-2 (1.9.9/2.0.0 or better), and Gtk+ 2.0.6 or better - neither Gnome nor PyGnome is required. (IceWMCP versions 2.5 and earlier require Gtk+1 and PyGtk-1 0.6.9) Repeat: IceWM requires NOTHING gnome-related.
- Also, your version of PyGtk should have the Gdk-Pixbuf modules on your system. Please run ALL IceWMCP programs from a BASH shell: Using other shells such as ksh, pdksh, csh, tcsh, etc. is likely to cause problems. If your IceWMCP programs have trouble launching other applications, it is most likely because you are using something other than a Bash (/bin/bash) shell. Run the programs from Bash...period! If you attempt to run the application and get ANY kind of error that says something like "Import Error", it means YOU do not have all the necessary Python libraries installed or do not have them installed correctly: This is NOT a bug, so do not file a bug report when you dont have the necessary software properly installed. Getting Python and PyGtk and getting them setup right is YOUR business. DO NOT ask for help installing Python, PyGtk, or GdkPixbuf. I recommend you get them from: http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net. If you are using a Python version lower than 2.2 and are too lazy to upgrade, use the "binary" distribution of IceWM Control Panel, or dont bother at all. NOTE: These requirements apply only to the standard pure-python version of IceWM Control Panel. Compiled, binary copies of IceWM Control Panel are stand-alone executables that do NOT require Python or PyGtk.
- Disk space requirements: The standard, pure-Python version of IceWM Control Panel uses approximately 1.75-2.2 MB of disk space - very small! The compiled, binary version of IceWM Control Panel uses about 3.7 MB of disk space. Yes, the binary version is large, so people too lazy or impatient to install Python and PyGtk properly and choose to use the stand-alone binary version will pay with disk space. At last check, the Hardware (or System) plug-in uses about 1.9 MB of disk space (most of it being the hardware ID data file).

Streamnik Server project is an IPTV server based on the open codecs Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/Theora. It can stream a number of different channels and is optimized to run on leased (virtual) servers. The program schedule is defined by an SQL database table and can be changed at runtime.

Campus Chat Server project is a chat server intended for use in the Cadiz University campus network.
Enhancements:
- hash_maps are now used instead of maps, so the cost of lookup or insertion is O(1) in the average case, instead of O(logn).

Jack Meter is a basic console based DPM (Digital Peak Meter) for JACK. I wrote it for quickly checking remote signal levels, without having to run X11 to use a pretty graphical meter such as meterbridge.
Usage
Usage jack_meter [-f freqency] [-r ref-level] [-w width] [-n] [< port >, ...]
where -f is how often to update the meter per second (8)
-r is the reference signal level for 0dB on the meter
-w is how wide to make the meter (79)
-n changes mode to output meter level as number in decibels
< port > the ports to monitor (multiple ports are mixed)
Enhancements:
- uses new JACK API (and hence requires JACK version 0.100.0)
- connects multiple ports on the command line
- informational messages are new sent to STDERR
- added -n option to output level as number in decibels

RIPE Whois Server provides support for domain records and lookups.

This is a whois database server. The RIPE Whois server uses a backend SQL database to allow support for very large repositories. There is support for IPv6 records and lookups. Both RPSL and RIPE181 are supported.

Dystopia is a Half-Life 2 modifcation which places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punks or Corp Mercenaries the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace.

Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the worlds network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to the physical world, fight off enemy hackers or defend critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.

The player will be immersed in action packed battles, whether as a heavily augmented combat mercenary armed to the teeth with the latest in firepower and implants, or a twitch reflex cyberdecker racing to infiltrate a cyberspace node. Only through skillful use of the high tech arsenal were making available and intelligent team play will players truly jack-in and kick ass.

Note: System used was Ubuntu Breezy Badger 2.6.12-9

Installation:

Log in as root

Create a user (EX. hlds, dystopia, srcds, etc..) with the command:

adduser hlds

Give that user a password

passwd hlds

Create a directory somewhere as that user where the server files and game files will go and go to that directory

mkdir /home/hlds/srcds

Make the owner of that directory your new user

chown hlds /home/hlds/srcds

Either login as that user or change to that user with the command

su hlds

Get the linux hlds update tool accurate as of 2/22/07

wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin

Change the file to be executable

chmod ugo+x hldsupdatetool.bin

Run the hldsupdatetool.bin

./hldsupdatetool.bin

If you see an error about not finding /bin/uncompress type

ln -s /bin/gunzip /bin/uncompress && ./hldsupdatetool.bin

Answer the agreement
Run the steam file that is extracted

./steam

It will update itself and then tell you to rerun the command, do so, but changed. This will take a while

./steam -command update -game hl2mp -dir .

Download the Dystopia V1 server package

wget dystopia_v1_server.tar.gz

Extract the files in your srcds folder

tar -xvzf dystopia_v1_server.tar.gz

Configuration:

Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/cfg/server.cfg with your editor of choice. This file is run at every map change.

Comment out or remove the following line.

map dys_assemble

This must be done or you server will not start properly.
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/cfg/valve.rc with your editor of choice. This file is run at server start

Add in the line the following line.

map dys_assemble

This map can be whatever you like your server to start on. If you do not do this, your server will not start properly.
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/motd.txt with your editor of choice
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/mapcycle.txt with your editor of choice

Starting the Server - Basic

Go to your srcds directory, whatever it is named

cd ~/srcds

Use the following command to start your server, this is a basic setup, replace 1.1.1.1 with the ip you want your server to report. You can also leave out the +ip 1.1.1.1 and it will take the first IP it can get

./srcds_run -game dystopia_v1 +maxplayers 20 -ip 1.1.1.1 -port 27015 &

To bring the console back so you can type commands into the console. use the command

fg

This will not always work.

The drawback to this method is that once you start it and then exit your ssh session you will not be able to get it back (at least I dont know of a way, if you do, let me know and Ill add it)

Starting the server - Advanced

Check to see if you have the screen command

screen

If you do, proceed, if not, get it. Create a shell script with the following commands. To do so, open a file in your favorite text editor (*nix only please). I named the file serverStart.sh

#!/bin/sh echo "Starting Dystopia Beta Server" sleep 1 cd /home/hlds/srcds screen -A -m -S dystopia /home/hlds/srcds/srcds_run -game dystopia_v1 +maxplayers 20 -ip 1.1.1.1 -port 27015

Make the shell script executable

chmod ugo+x serverStart.sh

Once its up and running, to exit the screen without closing it use the following key combo

ctrl+A,D (ctrl+A and then while still holding a, press d)

To retrieve the screen so that you can look at the console

screen -r

libjackasyn is a library that allows you to use programs written for the OSS sound API with the JACK audio server. libjackasyn is a library that can be used for two purposes.
First it can be loaded via the LD_PRELOAD variable, turning OSS applications automatically into JACK-aware applications.
Second, it can be used to link against the program during build time, making it trivial to turn an OSS aware sound application into a JACK aware sound application in a short time.
libjackasyn got its name from the asynchronous manner in which it communicates with the JACK server, which means by using libjackasyn you will introduce an additional delay exactly the size of one JACK audiobuffer (1024 samples or 44 ms with the JACK default settings).
This delay can be reduced by reducing the JACK buffersize. It should not matter for sound generating applications, but it might introduce phasing effects when doing sound processing.
Enhancements:
- fixed RDONLY and WRONLY handling
- act upon jack shutdown, allows to switch between JACK and non-JACK operation
- several small bug fixes
- debug compilation optional
