Summary
Sound
This metapackage will install a sampling of sound packages for
a system that is used by children. While not all of these will
be things that children will use directly, a child's system
administrator can make use of them to ensure that the child
gets the most out of their system.
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Junior Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Junior which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Junior
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian Junior mailing list

The bplay package provides a simple command-line utility for playing
and recording audio files in raw sample, VOC and WAV formats.
To use this program you need a soundcard of some kind and the
appropriate driver configured into your kernel.
When run the program creates two processes which share a memory
buffer. It does reading/writing on the disk and the sound device
simultaneously, in order to be less liable to `pause' because the
disk is too slow or too busy.
