Free players bench software for linux

cd player is a really small cd player for Linux with a curses-like user interface.
Main features:
- mcdp is a small (maybe the smallest) cd-player for _linux_

Web Bench is very simple tool for benchmarking WWW or proxy servers. Uses fork() for simulating multiple clients and can use HTTP/0.9-HTTP/1.1 requests.
This benchmark is not very realistic, but it can test if your HTTPD can realy handle that many clients at once (try to run some CGIs) without taking your machine down.
Displays pages/min and bytes/sec. Can be used in more aggressive mode with -f switch.
Enhancements:
- allow building with both Gnu and BSD make

PHPBench provides a benchmark suite for PHP.
It performs a large number of simple tests in order to bench various
aspects of the PHP interpreter.
PHPBench can be used to compare hardware, operating systems, PHP versions, PHP accelerators and caches, compiler options, etc.
Custom tests can be easily added to the suite.
In order to get accurate results, every test is evaluated more than once.
By defaut, tests are evaluated 100000 times, or multiples of that value for
some tests that are known to be CPU-expensive or other tests that are known to be very fast.
If you have slow hardware or very fast hardware, you can change the number
of iterations, with the -i switch:
./phpbench.php -i 5000
he score you get when the benchmark completes is a ratio between the number of iterations and the total time that was needed to perform all tests.
Thus, the score should be independant of the number of iterations, but the higher number you use, the more accuracy you will get.
Enhancements:
- The regression test of test_bitwise has been fixed for 64-bits CPUs.

Volity::Player is a Perl module for Volity players, from a referees perspective.

An object of this class represents a Volity player present at a table. The referee creates one of these objects for every player who comes to that refs table. The player might not actually play the game (i.e. sit in a seat), but is nonetheless recognized by the referee as a potential game player and table presence.

In certain circumstances a ref may choose to keep an object for a given player persistent, even after that player leaves the table, while other times the players departure results in the objects destruction. Generally, it just does the right thing.

USAGE

You should never need to create or destroy player objects yourself; the referee object takes care of that. However, there are a number of methods defined by Volity::Referee and Volity::Seat that return player objects, so you may find yourself interacting with them anyway.

Volity::Game subclasses refer to seats more often than to individual players, since most game interaction takes place at the seat level.

YOLK XMMS PLAYER is a Xmms player control SuperKaramba theme.
I realized that Aqua is required in most desktop palletes.
It supports:
- Play
- Pause
- REW
- FWW

OpticalRayTracer is a free Linux utility that analyzes systems of lenses, it is Xwindows GUI-based.

It uses optical principles and a virtual optical bench to predict the behavior of many kinds of ordinary and exotic lens types. OpticalRayTracer includes an advanced, easy-to-use interface that allows the user to rearrange the optical configuration by simply dragging lenses around using the mouse.

OpticalRayTracer fully analyzes lens optical properties, incuding refraction and dispersion. The dispersion display uses color-coded light beams, as shown above, to simplify interpretation of the results.

Educators take note: OpticalRayTracer has significant educational potential in the teaching of basic optical principles, and it has some entertaining and game-like behaviors to hold the students attention.

OpticalRayTracer includes a detailed tutorial/help file to assist the user in getting started in this interesting activity.

Installation:

Put it in any convenient location.
$ tar -xjf raytracer.tar.bz2
$ cd raytracer.dist
$ ./auto_install.sh
If you dont want the automatic installation or you want to fine-tune the process, instead of running "auto_install.sh", after the unpacking step above, do this:
$ make -f Makefile.cvs dist
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
Obviously you may want to modify some of these steps to suit your platform.

I like using Amarok for managing my podcasts but I wasnt able to play my video podcasts.

Amarok Video Player adds a PlayVideo/Play menu item to the context menu which runs KMPlayer.

Edit the script to change KMplayer to another video player.
