Audio stream mixing tools | ||
1. Program list
This package contains several audio stream tool programs
for little-endian systems.
Note that none of these programs (except ecat) talk directly with a soundcard. They only handle raw audio streams. 1.1. mixer
A stream mixing server. It accepts mixwrite
and mixmon -connections.
Provides a server for audio stream mixing. Meant to be a replacement for esd, with much more features and much less cpu usage. 1.2. mixmon
Monitors the mixer over a tcp connection,
reading whatever is being mixed to it.
1.3. mixwrite
Sends stream to the mixer over a tcp connection.
1.4. resample
Resamples audio stream from one format to another format,
trying to not produce resampling artifacts.
resample v1.20.1 - Copyright (C) 1992,2006 Bisqwit (http://iki.fi/bisqwit/)
Portions copyright (C) 2001 ImageMagick Studio.
This program is under GPL. streamixer-1.20.1.tar.{gz,bz2}
are available at the homepage of the author.
Usage: /usr/local/bin/resample <inputspec> <outputspec> [<options> ...]
Reads stdin, writes stdout.
input- and outputspec:
b=8-bit, m=mono, rxxx=xxx Hz, examples:
"" = 16-bit 44100 Hz stereo
m = 16-bit 44100 Hz mono
b = 8-bit 44100 Hz stereo
mb = 8-bit 44100 Hz mono
mr22050 = 16-bit 22050 Hz mono
br22050 = 8-bit 22050 Hz stereo
etc. '-' must not be used.
Options:
--help, -h Help
--version, -V Version information
--blur, -b <amount> Blur: 0=normal, >0=blur (cpu intensive)
--lflip, -L Flip left channel
--rflip, -R Flip right channel
--ldouble Multiply left channel amplitude by 2
--rdouble Multiply right channel amplitude by 2
--sharpen, -s <amount> Equivalent to giving negative number to --blur
--filter, -f <filter> Select filter (interpolation scheme)
Available filters:
none, linear, triangle, hermite, hanning, hamming,
blackman, gaussian, quadratic, cubic, catrom, mitchell,
lanczos, bessel, sinc
Recommended filters: linear, lanczos, none
1.5. mixeridle
Generates idle stream for the mixer, if there
are readers for the mixer but no writers. Actually has been hardcoded to play something nasty... you should probably customize it :) Note that if mixeridle fails to produce anything, mixer will hang waiting. 1.6. ecat
Outputs its stdin to the audio device (/dev/dsp for example)
with the specified bitness, stereo and sampling rate. Useful
backend to the mixer (with mixmon). This finally obsoletes my previous hack to do the same: ... | lame -rxdh -b 128 - - | mpg123 -q - Here's a nice experiment to lower music pitch: $ spcplay -r60000 -uao- ff5-world2.spc |ecat File: ff5-world2.spc Song: Unknown Lands Game: Final Fantasy V Comments: http://members.xoom.com/oksam_ff Author: Nobuo Uematsu, Squaresoft Dumper: AtLaS Playtime: 0 Fadetime: 0 Emulator: Unknown (102) Rate 70 Volume 100 12345678And this plays two songs at the same time: $ mixer & $ mixmon|ecat & $ mpg123 -s 01-Trust.mp3 |mixwrite & $ mpg123 -s 14-DesperateFeelings.mp3 |mixwrite &(total CPU load being around 25% with my 233 MHz laptop) Hint: Sound card usually can't play arbitrary sampling rates. Use resample together with ecat to help. $ mpg123 -r34500 -qvvs /mp3/OwaranaiNatsu.mp3 |ecat Using memory mapped IO for this stream. No supported rate found! $ mpg123 -qvvs /mp3/OwaranaiNatsu.mp3 |resample r44100 r34500 -f lanczos|ecat Using memory mapped IO for this stream. Audio: 1:1 conversion, rate: 44100, encoding: signed 16 bit, channels: 2 128 kb/s - frame# 4215 [ 6300], Time: 01:50.10 [02:44.57],This example upsampled 44.1 kHz stream a happy 28% and played it with 44.1 kHz sampling rate, still not damaging the sound hearably. Try "none" as the filter (that's what most programs do) and you really do hear the difference. Try "linear" as the filter (that's what most programs do when they are "interpolating") and it's still not as good as it is when more modern filters are being used. 1.7. mixerscript
Mixes 16-bit stereo streams together in a predefined exact way. Useful if you want to mix some wavs together. A time offset may be defined. mixerscript v1.20.1 - Copyright (C) 1992,2006 Bisqwit (http://iki.fi/bisqwit/)
This program is under GPL. streamixer-1.20.1.tar.{gz,bz2}
are available at the homepage of the author.
Usage: /usr/local/bin/mixerscript {<option> | <command>}
Writes stdout.
Note: All streams must be 16-bit stereo.
Pipe the stream with resample program if this isn't the case...
Specify streams as commands which output the data.
Example: mixerscript -t0 'sox tmp.wav -t raw -' \
-t0.2 'mpg123 -s test.mp3' > test.raw
Options:
-V, --version Version information
-b, --blocksize <float> Set maxblocksize (default: 0.2) - experts only
-h, --help Help
-r, --rate <int> Set global sampling rate in hertz (defalt: 44100)
-t, --at <float> Set time offset of the next element (default: 0)
-v, --volume <float> Set mixing volume of the next element (default: 1)
2. Requirements
GNU make is probably required. 3. Installation$ make $ su # make installIf you do not want to install libargh (included in the archive), do not use "make install" and edit Makefile and enable the STATIC linking instead of DYNAMIC. 4. Copying
These tools have been written by Joel Yliluoma, a.k.a.
