netaudio: freebsd.cdrom.com
networked audio which also works locally and has X apps
to record, play, or edit sound apps.
mosaic: freebsd.cdrom.com
you can listen to some of the html pages or mosaic postings
the mosaic demo page has audio icons which you can click
on and listen
adagio: freebsd.cdrom.com
midi player so you can play cool midi files.
it has an X front end so you can play midi files
pretty much like a jukebox.
gmod: freebsd.cdrom.com
amiga mod file player. No X front-end but is a cool app.
vat: ee.lbl.gov:conferencing/vat
Visual Audio Tool which allows you to listen to the net or
carry out conversations with people. vat uses ip multicasting
so you will need the latest freebsd kernel plus some mods
to the sound driver that I have here. Most of the kernel
kernel mods including the ip multicasting was done by
Jim Miller. vat is cool and is really worth
while to have.
mail stuff:
exmh harbor.ecn.purdue.edu:/pub/tcl/..
tcl/tk front-end to mh-6.3 so you can play those wild
MIME messages. Cool X front-end to mh-6.3
metamail
MIME compliant mailer and useful to complement mh6.3
mh6.3 MIME compliant no fancy X front end but it is really
nice to have.
safe-tcl (do archie on this one forgot where I got it)
MIME and Active Mail. basically, it uses mh6.3 and
tcl/tk to decode and send MIME or safe-tcl messages.
safe-tcl messages can invoke just about any tcl/tk
procedure so the net effect is that you can send whole
programs whose "read" action is the execution of the
tcl/tk program. the message can contain sound, graphics
(mpeg, gif, jpeg) forgot text too :)
No, this is not the entire list just what I can remember...
All the mentioned apps I have used and I know that they work.
My soundcards are Gravis Ultrasound ( I got a couple of systems).
Enjoy,
Amancio
