OptimFROG is a lossless audio compression program. Its main goal is to
reduce at maximum the size of audio files, while permitting bit identical
restoration for all input. It is similar with the ZIP compression, but it
is highly specialized to compress audio data.
OptimFROG obtains asymptotically the best lossless audio compression
ratios. It has Windows, Linux, and Mac versions, fully featured input
plug-ins for the Windows Media Player, foobar2000, Winamp2/3/5, dBpowerAMP,
XMPlay, QCD, and XMMS audio players (with bitstream error resilience,
ID3v1.1 and APEv2 read tagging support, ID3v2 compatible), optimal support
for all integer PCM wave formats up to 32 bits and an extensible streamable
(error tolerant) compressed format. It is also fast, the default mode
encodes CD quality audio data at 12.4x real-time and decodes at 17.4x real-
time on AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (the fastest mode encodes at 28.1x real-time
and decodes at 24.7x real-time). Self-extracting (sfx) archives can also be
created with a small overhead of just 54 KB.

LPAC is a codec (coder / decoder) for lossless compression of digital audio
files. "Lossless" means that any compressed file can be decompressed in a way
it will be bit-wise identical with the original. This is the main advantage
of LPAC compared to lossy formats like MP3, WMA or RealAudio. On the other
hand, lossy codecs can achieve higher compression ratios. For example, MP3 at
128 kbit/s achieves a (fixed) compression ratio of 11, whereas LPAC's
compression ratios range from 1.5 to 4, strongly depending on the audio
material. Typically they are around 2 for pop music and 2.5 for classical
music. This may not seem much, but remember you will get back every single
bit, no matter how often you subsequently compress and decompress a file. It
is true that general archivers (Zip, LZH, gzip) are lossless, too, but they
often achieve nearly no compression on audio files.

sound API with the JACK audio server (jackit.sf.net). libjackasyn is a library
that can be used for two purposes.
First it can be loaded via the LD_PRELOAD variable, turning OSS applications
automatically into JACK-aware applications.
Second, it can be used to link against the program during build time, making it
trivial to turn an OSS aware sound application into a JACK aware sound
application in a short time.
libjackasyn got its name from the asynchronous manner in which it communicates
with the JACK server, which means by using libjackasyn you will introduce an
additional delay exactly the size of one JACK audiobuffer (1024 samples or 44
ms with the JACK default settings). This delay can be reduced by reducing the
JACK buffersize. It should not matter for sound generating applications, but
it might introduce phasing effects when doing sound processing.
