+ecasound (multitrack audio processing)
+
Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio
-processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording
-and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing,
-mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of
-audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects
-can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled
-by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console
-mode user-interface is included in the package.

Optional compile-time dependency:
- lilv - used for LV2 plugin support.
Optional runtime dependencies:
-- lame - required for mp3 output.
- TiMidity++ - required for MIDI .mid file input.
- libmikmod - required for tracker file support (such as .mod files).
-- set_rlimits - used to run ecasound with realtime priority (but see the
- jack-audio-connection-kit README for an alternative)
This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with
elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This
