Some free stuff

ntuneradio.c

ntuneradio (for „new tuneradio”) is an utility for operating FM-tuners (the ones utilizing Bt848/878), for Linux or FreeBSD. The main task is just to tune in, and then... „disappear out of the sight”.
FreeBSD users: unfortunately, „batch mode” is not available without patching bktr driver first. No such problem under Linux.

Compile it just with: cc ntuneradio.c -o ntuneradio

Tkamixer

07.09.2007. - V1.1. - new option: save window's size and place, fix for a little problem with read-only IEC958 device recognition
05.09.2007. - V1.0 - initial release

What's this?

Tkamixer is a „front-end” to the amixer utility, which is part of alsa-utils package; as it's name suggests, it makes easier to use mixers of soundcards supported by ALSA.

What for?

It did start as a Tcl/Tk exercise, turning gradually into something much more useful.

What does it offer?

operating all of the available devices of MIXER type
using all the (ALSA-supported) cards available in the computer
setting the appearance according to individual taste (colour theme, window size)
setting the limit just to most frequently used regulators
can be used for batch-mode quick initialization of soundcard
...and that's it for today. Besides: what more one can expect from mixer application?

What does it need?

GNU/Linux OS
alsa-utils package (as it has been said already: amixer program)
Tcl 8.x
Tk 8.x
...and ALSA-supported soundcard(s).
