Mp3blaster is an interactive text-based program
that plays several audio file types (MP3, Ogg
Vorbis, wav, and sid). It is one of the few audio
players for the text console that allows full
interactive control during playback. One of its
key features is the ability to compose a very
flexible playlist (while playing!). It plays most
MP3 formats and has full mixer support built in.

SoundTracker is a pattern-oriented music editor (similar to the DOS program 'FastTracker'). Samples are lined up on tracks and patterns which are then arranged to a song. Supported module formats are XM and MOD; the player code is the one from OpenCP. A basic sample recorder and editor is also included.

ChibiTracker is a portable IT (Impulse Tracker)
clone. It is not an exact clone though, as it adds
more features, such as chorus and reverb, stereo
samples, an advanced sample editor, and more. The
user interface also presents some changes, as it
can be custom themed and resized.

kamix is a mixer for KDE and ALSA, with more
features than kmix (or at least with more features
than kmix had when kamix was started). It supports
channel splitting, levels storing/restoring, sync
with external ALSA events, correct handling of
"enumerated" elements, and selective item
hiding/showing.

PD (Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. It is the third major branch of the family of patcher programming languages known as Max (Max/FTS, ISPW Max, Max/MSP, jMax, etc.).

MP3 STATION is a LIRC-aware, plain-text tool set
for managing MP3 playback in a car or home with as
little user interaction as possible. It can
restart the last playlist at the last played
track/frame, transparently load directories,
transparently recompile playlists, and keep a
repository of all the playlists. It also has two
simple clients for communicating with cm3s (a
curses console client and a very basic one on a
parallel port). All programs run under a
non-privileged user account.

BeatForce is a computer DJing system, with two
players with independent playlist, song database,
mixer, sampler etc. It was planned as a feature
enhanced Linux replacement for BPM-Studio from
Alcatech.

Gemu is a Gnome application designed to configure sound cards based on the EMU10K1 platform from Creative Labs. Gemu is capable of adding, viewing and deleting audio routes, turning on Live Drive IR, turning on the 12db boost to the front/headphone jacks on Live cards, setting the S/PDIF frequency on Audigy cards, setting the recording source, turning on digital passthrough mode, setting to the analog or digital mode of the dual-mode jack of 5.1 cards, adding and seeing patches for sources and destinations, and controlling volume on a per-route basis or by source or destination.

aumix is a program for adjusting an audio mixer. It can run under X with GTK+, in full-screen text mode with ncurses and (if available) gpm, or non-interactively, and can store all settings in a file. It works with the OSS API.

SDL_sound is a library that handles the decoding of several popular sound file formats such as .WAV and .MP3. Designed to make the task of sound playback easier, SDL_sound accepts files or other input through an abstraction layer and returns the decoded waveform. SDL_sound can decode a whole sound file and hand back a single pointer to the waveform, or SDL_sound can process sound data in programmer-specified blocks when resource constraints are a concern. SDL_sound can also handle sample rate, audio format, and channel conversion on-the-fly.
