Free music daemon software for linux

Music daemon(musicd) is a music playing server that supports multiple formats through plugins and multiple playlists. Musicd supports plugins to enable playing of different audioformats. The plugin-api is quite similiar to one that the popular XMMS uses. Currently XMMS-plugins are not directly supported, but if I find the time, Ill make a meta-plugin to support them.
The first reason to make the player a server is to make it possible to use many different frontends and even at the same time. You can use a GUI if you like them, but anything it can do, can be done from commandline too.
The second reason is to make sure that the GUI or X does not crash the whole player. I have found that many software with a GUI tend to crash. With musicd the player is unaffected by this and you can start the interface again.
Main features:
- Musicd has its own simple text-based protocol for player-frontend communication.
- Support for unlimited number of playlists, songs per playlist and frontends connect at the same time
- Support for both IPv4 and IPv6. Also UNIX-sockets are supported for local connections.
- Currently supported audioformats: mp3 (ffmpeg), ogg vorbis (vorbisfile) and mods (libmikmod).
- Support for OSS and Solaris ouput.
- Musicd has been tested on x86 Linux and Solaris 9.
Enhancements:
- Calling play while already playing shouldnt cause deadlocks anymore
- Load command on a file that has too long line as the last line locked up the daemon, this shouldnt happen anymore
- Invalid id3tags shouldnt give random data anymore
- Invalid filenames shouldnt crash the player anymore

Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a server that allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod, and wave) and managing playlists.
Music Player Daemon makes a great desktop player with frontend options (Qt, GTK, ncurses, Windows, and Web clients are available). It is also appropriate as a console player that is scriptable, and is especially useful if X is restarted frequently.
A set of rapid development tools for clients are being developed and include a C library, Python module, PHP class, Perl module, and Java Class.
The goals are to be easy to install and use, to have minimal resource requirements, to be stable and flexible, and easy to interface.
MPD is designed around a client/server architecture, where the clients interact with MPD over a network. Thus, running MPD is only half of the equation; to use MPD, you need to install a MPD client:
Web Clients
- phpMp - Web interface written in PHP
- phpMp2 - Another web interface written in PHP
Graphical Clients
- gmpc - Gnome Music Player Client
- kmp - Graphical interface written in Qt
- MPDCon - A GNUstep Graphical interface
- glurp - Graphical interface written in GTK+
- WMmp - Window Maker dockapp
- gtk2mp - Try gmpc first! Graphical interface written in Gtk+
Command Line Clients
- ncmpc - ncurses (command line) client
- mpc - (Scriptable) command line client
- bashmp - client written as bash aliases and functions
Miscellaneous Clients
- mpcstick - Linux joystick client
- arthist - Perl client to generate a web blog of MPD activity

audit package contains the user-space utilities for creating audit rules. As well as for storing and searching the audit records generate by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel.
Usage:
Examples usage of utilities:
General:
Window 1:
./auditd
Window 2 (you dont have to have the daemon running to try this, but
enabled has to be 1):
./auditctl -s
./auditctl -a entry,always -S open
ls
./auditctl -d entry,always -S open
Identity tracking:
./auditctl -a exit,always -S all -F loginuid=2000
./auditctl -L 2000,"test uid"
Enhancements:
- Updates were made to system-config-audit. auditctl was updated to better handle watching of directories with older kernels.
- Memory leaks and an invalid free in auditd were fixed along with interpretations in auparse.

Gizmo Daemon is the Linux Input Device Utility.
Ever want to make use of those keyboard keys and mouse buttons that X wont let you use? Ever want to quickly define a keyboard shortcut to do something like change or mute the volume? Ever want to use your joystick, second mouse, Griffin PowerMate, or any other random device you can think of to do fun things like control applications, switch desktops, switch tracks in XMMS / BMP, launch programs, or do pretty much anything else you can think of?
Are you a MythTV user? Got an RF or IR (LIRC) Remote? Annoyed with how frustrating it is to map keys, or is the remote super touchy? Would you like a simple easy way to configure your remote, and have it function properly at the same time? Want to have different key maps based on what application is currently being used?
Gizmo Daemon does all of that, and more! Gizmo Daemon operates on a fairly simple philosophy: let the user decide. Any and all device events are sent to the configuration scripts, and from there the user can decide what should be done with those events. A number of functions are exposed to the scripts which allows the script to interact with any of the loaded device plugins in any way desired.
Main features:
- Control any application with any device
- Utilize those special keys on your fancy keyboard, even if your X server or terminal doesnt support them! Now you can actually make the volume controls change the volume, or the media buttons control XMMS / BMP! Set the buttons to launch your favorite programs, switch virtual desktops, or run whatever application you want!
- Give per application key mappings, very handy for remote users!
- Fix touchy remotes by removing quick duplicate keystrokes
- Control system mixer volume
- Change virtual desktops (only for EWMH capable window managers)
- Launch programs
- Send keyboard and mouse events to applications
- Send device events from one device to another, or create fake device events (control a mouse cursor with a joystick, or keyboard)
- Visualization of system events such as CPU USage, and XMMS / BMP sound output on visual devices (such as the LED on the Griffin PowerMate USB Dial).
- Fancy on screen displays via XOSD. Now your workstation or MythTV box can have nice TV friendly volume displays controlled by your remote!
- And more! Anything you can think of is probably possible
Enhancements:
- Add Powermate setRotateSensitivity function
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
POWERMATE_ROTATE_SENSITIVITY for this!
- Add PowermateEvent ClickTime property (duration of button press)
- Add GizmodThread class for creating threads from Python
- DO NOT USE!! (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL!)
- Add GizmodTimer class for creating timer objects from Python
- Add script 200-Powermate-ButtonTimeout for generating button
timeout events
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
POWERMATE_BUTTON_TIMEOUT for this!
- Add script 201-Powermate-Beryl
- So far this detects a powermate button timeout and
unfolds the beryl cube, and lets you scroll the unfolded
cube with the dial
- Add base script GizmoScriptAltTabber so that devices have an
easy way of sending Alt-Tab events
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
ALT_TAB_TIMEOUT for this!
- Add remote ?00-Intercept scripts for alt-tabbing support
- This allows the default mapping to start alt-tab
and to still alt-tab passed applications (if alt-tab
actually focuses apps) if those apps happen to use
the same button that initialized the alt-tab
- Add Gizmod namespace to libGizmod

OLSR daemon project is an implementation of the Optimized Link State Routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs).
OLSR is a routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. The protocol is pro-active, table driven and utilizes a technique called multipoint relaying for message flooding. olsrd also implements a popular optional link quality extension. Currently the implementation compiles on GNU/Linux, Windows, OS X, FreeBSD and NetBSD systems.
Olsrd is ment to be a well structured and well coded implementation that should be easy to maintain, expand and port to other platforms. The implementation is RFC3626 compliant with respect to both core and auxiliary functioning.
Olsrd supports use of loadable plugins. These can be used to to handle and generate custom packettypes to be carried by OLSRs MPR flooding scheme or for any other desired functioning.
Enhancements:
- Network simulator (olsr_switch) added. Read more in the README file included in the release.
- New experimental fish eye link distribution algorithm. Read more in the README file included in the release.
- Tiny Application Server(TAS) plugin added
- Plugin interface changes. Olsrd now exports all symbols mening that plugins can access all olsrd functions easily.
- Olsrd now builds and runs on OpenBSD
- Build system rewrites(OS detection is now done automagically)
- Lots of bugfixes and minor changes

ESE Key Daemon is a multimedia keyboard driver for Linux. No kernel patch is needed.
ESE Key Daemon is a userspace program which pools /dev/input/event interfaces for incoming keyboard key presses.
Enhancements:
- A bug in the configuration file handling routines was fixed.

The PXE daemon allows network managers to boot PXE-enabled machines over the network. Basically it envolves BOOTP, TFTP (so far so good) and a PXE daemon. This is where all the trouble starts. There is only one implementation arround, and if doesnt work on anything other than little endian machines.
I originally tried to correct some of the major problems in this code. However firstly, I could not find anyone with at Red Hat or Intel to deal with and secondly, Intel seem very unintrested in porting the code the big endian machines. The source is also very messy and it would have taken longer to correct the original code, than to re-write the whole daemon. If you dont believe me on this point, just have a look at it, IMHO any daemon that responds to keyboard input is a bad thing (it thinks it had packets coming from the keyboard even when in daemon mode)
You are lucky then, but a lot of places have already got a bootserver, and most likely it will be a UNIX based machine that is not x86. So, why put in another machine when there is already one there?
If you know enough about PC, you will know there are several operating modes. The mode the PC boots in is only able to access the low 640KB of memory. By using the PXELINUX bootstrap code it is possible to boot using the full amount to memory in the system. The means you can do some nice things including boot a Linux kernel + Ramdisk over the network, as you would for a Sun. Please note that the Intel bootstraping code is very limited in this sense.
I dont recommend it anymore, I just havent had time to do a lot of updates, PXELINUX is far far better (see link below). However Intels PXE daemon is naff (IMHO)
Enhancements:
- Increase the interface buffer to hold more than three interfaces
- Fixed a segfault in when multicast was disabled
- Fixed null pointer dereference when looking at interfaces with no IP address
