Bug#117194: ITP: bfr - nonblocking 8-bit-clean pipe buffer
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : bfr
Upstream Author : Mark Glines <mark@glines.org>
* URL : http://www.glines.org/software/buffer.html
* License : GPL v2
Description : nonblocking 8-bit-clean pipe buffer
bfr's purpose is to buffer data. It buffers from standard input
and/or a list of files, and allows this data to flow to standard
output at whatever rate that end can handle. It's useful for any
situation in which its beneficial to have I/O occur in a detached yet
smooth fashion.
.
Also contained is bfp, a buffering /dev/dsp writer. Pipe your raw
PCM data to it, for skipfree bliss.
I talked to the upstream author about getting this into Debian. He
already had packages rolled for sid which were never uploaded.
He decided that I'll maintain it for Debian for the time being, and if
he decides to go through NM and become a debian developer, he'll take
over the Debian maintainership.
There should be an upload soon, all I have to do is clean up the
existing package a bit and it's ready to roll.
