1. Program list

This package contains audio stream several tool programs.

1.1. ff

Frequerency filter. Eats 16-bit mono stream and gives a nice scrolling colourful ascii graph representing the frequerency components of the audio. Try whistling. A nice toy. It is my speech recognition investigation scratchpad.
A screenshot is available at erec page.

1.2. wg

Waveform generator and multiplexer.
Wave generator (wg) version 1.16
Copyright (C) 1992,1999 Bisqwit (http://iki.fi/bisqwit/)

1.3. hum

Generates semiquiet stream. Useful if you want to keep the mixer quiet (if your mixeridle if not so quiet). Does not just output zero. Plain zero stream is hard to analyze for LAME.

2. Requirements

GNU make is probably required.
ff requires rfftw.

3. Installation

$ make
$ su
# make install
If 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.
