Boodler Description

Open source and programmable soundscape generation tool Boodler is a tool for creating soundscapes - continuous, infinitely varying streams of sound. Boodler is designed to run in the background on a computer, maintaining whatever sound environment you desire. Boodler is customizable, extensible, and modular. Each soundscape is a small piece of Python code - typically less than a page. A soundscape can incorporate other soundscapes; it can also combine other soundscapes, switch between them, or fade them in andThis package comes with many example soundscapes. You can use these, modify them, combine them to arbitrary levels of complexity, or write your own.Boodler can generate audio output to several destinations, each ofwhich is defined by a driver module:· file: write file containing raw sample output· stdout: write raw sample output to stdout· oss: Open Sound System· esd: Enlightened Sound Daemon· alsa: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture· macosx: MacOSX CoreAudio· vorbis: write Ogg Vorbis file· shout: Shoutcast or Icecast source· lame: write MP3 fileNOTE: Boodler does not come with any warranty of any sort whatsoever. Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · Fixed, or worked around, a bug that prevented --testsound from working on Python 2.6. · Adjusted the package creation tool to skip .pyc files, and anything that looks like compiled code. It will now also skip redundant package requirements, and warn about any package which is required in two different ways. · Added a JACKB driver: the JACK audio system, using the Bio2Jack library. (I'm not convinced that Bio2Jack is the right way to go, which is why I didn't call this one "JACK". It produces deprecation warnings when building with the latest JACK library.) · Adjusted the listen module to work on Windows, unless the --stdinevents option is used. (That option requires the fcntl module, which is not available on Windows.)
