Free sound servers software for linux

Sound Converter project can convert sound files to other formats.

A simple sound converter application for the GNOME environment. It reads anything the GStreamer library can read, and writes WAV, FLAC, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis files.

Sound Mural is a picture-to-sound converter plugin for Xpaint.
An image that has been loaded or composed in Xpaint is treated as a spectrogram, and the corresponding audio is written out as a WAV file.
Examples of what Sound Mural can do, can be seen and heard on the Sound Mural Web page.
To use sound mural, you need an XPaint that supports loading precompiled filters. Future official versions of XPaint might support this, but until then you can download the source here.
The modification adds a "Load Precompiled Filter" menu item to the C_Script menu. It pops open a file selection box, and you select a .so file which contains a precompiled filter, which it loads.
After it is loaded, you can run the filter from the "User Defined Filter" in the "Filters" menu. Although this modification was made to XPaint to support Sound Mural, it might be generally useful.
Your X needs to be running in 24 bit color mode or better. Otherwise it will work but performance will be bad. It is probably a good idea to use a pure white background color in XPaint.
Non-white background colors result in constant background noise in the output of Sound Mural. And pure white pixels require no processing, so it goes much faster if most of the image is pure white.
Installation and use:
Type make to compile. You must have an XPaint that has the PRECOMPILED_FILTERS feature. If you have that, then you can load this module from
Selectors -> C_Script_Editor -> File -> Load_Precompiled_Filter
After it is loaded, you invoke Sound Mural by
Filters -> User_Defined_Filter
Each time you invoke sound mural, it will render the canvas as audio, and write a WAV file to the location specified in soundmural.c. The default location is /tmp/soundmural.wav.
Enhancements:
- Sound Mural is now a freestanding command line program.
- It reads a PNG on stdin and writes WAV on stdout.

Net::Server is an extensible, generic Perl server engine. Net::Server combines the good properties from Net::Daemon (0.34), NetServer::Generic (1.03), and Net::FTPServer (1.0), and also from various concepts in the Apache Webserver.
Net::Server attempts to be a generic server as in Net::Daemon and NetServer::Generic. It includes with it the ability to run as an inetd process (Net::Server::INET), a single connection server (Net::Server or Net::Server::Single), a forking server (Net::Server::Fork), a preforking server which maintains a constant number of preforked children (Net::Server::PreForkSimple), or as a managed preforking server which maintains the number of children based on server load (Net::Server::PreFork). In all but the inetd type, the server provides the ability to connect to one or to multiple server ports.
Net::Server uses ideologies of Net::FTPServer in order to provide extensibility. The additional server types are made possible via "personalities" or sub classes of the Net::Server. By moving the multiple types of servers out of the main Net::Server class, the Net::Server concept is easily extended to other types (in the near future, we would like to add a "Thread" personality).
Net::Server borrows several concepts from the Apache Webserver. Net::Server uses "hooks" to allow custom servers such as SMTP, HTTP, POP3, etc. to be layered over the base Net::Server class. In addition the Net::Server::PreFork class borrows concepts of min_start_servers, max_servers, and min_waiting servers.
Net::Server::PreFork also uses the concept of an flock serialized accept when accepting on multiple ports (PreFork can choose between flock, IPC::Semaphore, and pipe to control serialization).

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).

Dual DHCP DNS Server is a combined DHCP/DNS server for small LANs.
Dynamic DHCP allocates/renews host addresses, while the caching DNS server first tries resolving from DHCP-allotted names, then from cache, and only then forwarding to external DNS servers.
Dual DHCP DNS Server supports an optional static DHCP mode and static IPs, automatic dynamic DNS updates from DHCP, and the ability to co-exist with other DHCP servers.
It is self-configuring and doesnt require the creation of zone files, and uses little memory and CPU.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes zone replication bugs.
