SMPlayer: A high quality wrapper
,----[ Quote ]
| Loosely speaking, in software terms, a wrapper is something that provides an
| alternate interface to another object. SMPlayer is an advanced multimedia
| player wrapped around MPlayer that provides a friendlier and more powerful
| front end to the underlying application. SMPlayer can play practically
| anything -- you can watch DVDs and VCDs, stream videos from a URL, or play
| audio CDs or MP3s.

These applications are more powerful than some of the stuff proprietary
platforms come with.

SMPlayer Review - One of the Most Powerful Video Players for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Since it uses Qt 4, integration with KDE 4.x is very good and the interface
| blends smoothly in the environment. As for speed, comparing to players for
| KDE 3 like Kaffeine, it is a little slower (I'm referring to the interface's
| response only), but I hope this will get fixed as the time passes though.
|
| To sum it up, SMPlayer is a very impressing application and one of the most
| powerful video players for Linux, together with Kaffeine or VLC.

Audio/Visual Synthesis For Linux: The New Art, Part 1
,----[ Quote ]
| As mentioned above, my focus has been on software intended for creative
| artists, with an emphasis on realtime or near-realtime processing
| capabilities. I have purposefully ignored Cinelerra, Blender, and other
| similar applications that are better understood as video sequence editors and
| compositors, though they share some of the tools and techniques of the
| software I'll profile in the next part of this article. Until then, hasta la
| vista (y la sonida) !

Give Me 3 Synths, Part 2
,----[ Quote ]
| Minicomputer is an excellent synth with some great possibilities. While its
| author emphasizes its effectiveness in hardcore sound styles I found it to be
| an excellent straightforward subtractive synth with some uncommon filtering
| capabilities.
