I need to add some mp3 file playing functionality to my Linux based embedded application. Until now I used a system call (mpg123 -qm list of mp3 files). But now I don't have all the elements of the playlist, but get the next one only when I'm ready with the previous one. With mpg123 it means that I have some stupid noise between the tracks, as I always have to restart the mpg123 binary.
I was looking around for some libraries and found libmad, lame, sdl and co. But they seem to be a bit overcomplicated at first to handle. I found the fmod (http://www.fmod.org/index.php/download) library easy to use. But it's available only in binary format, which doesn't fit my ARM-based target (not to mention the licensing problems). Does anybody know about any similar, open source library capable of playing mp3 files similar to fmod?

mpg123 has an API, perhaps you could use that instead of calling the binary?

OK, finally with the help of houbysoft's hint i found a solution which uses libmpg123 and libao, here, and with some tuning i managed to get pretty smooth file-by-file playing. Thx for the hint!

Is there any script/tool out there (any language) that will generate .wav file into a waveform image?
Basically I want to upload a small wav file on the web and it will then show an image of waveforms including numbers of seconds (duration).
PS: I did google but no luck.
https://bitbucket.org/corfr/wavegenerator/src
A friend did this one :
You need linux (i successfully use Centos & Ubuntu)
Libmad
If i remember that was enough, it generate a .png from a .mp3 file, using libmad so. Code is quite simple to understand, as always feel free to submit improve !
it will generate a waveform pretty close as what you can found on soundcloud for example...
EDIT: Since you're looking for waveform, this question is very related.

EDIT: This answer is valid if you're looking for a way of showing frequence graphically.
SoX ( http://sox.sourceforge.net/ ) can run on Windows and it's installed or available in almost all Linux distribution.
It can generate a spectrogram in .png format. Just call it like this:
sox <inputfile> -n spectrogram
You will find spectrogram.png in the same directory.
Here is an example of a spectrogram produced by SoX:

I would like to ask you to recommend me a C/C++ library to capture video.
I am getting frames from a camera at 16 bits per pixel (RGB), and I would like to save those frames in a video format in an efficient way to be able to look at it in the future.
Would you please recommend me a good C/C++ library that I can use under Linux please?
A Google search gives me a lot of libraries, and I am really not sure which one does a good job and is widely used. I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.
As far as I know -- the predominat library is Video4Linux -- however I have not tried it myself, but the list of applications using/supporting it is impressive.
Addition:
For Multi media Encoding GStreamer is probably one of the most used frameworks.

Need to find if there is a open source project for audio signal processing, just as we have openCV for image processing.
Thanks
In my course for the more technical part, we were introduced to signal processing, we had to use Octave with the audio package and gnu plot for plotting.
For the fun part of the course used MaxMSP/Jitter which is a commercial project,
but there's always PureData which is opensource and the Jitter equivalent would be PD Gem, but just for audio signal processing you should be fine with PureData.
In short, if you're into the number crunching bit, Octave should be fine.
We also did the image processing in Octave too, it's two dimensions as opposed to one(sound), but it's still signal processing. You can apply a high-pass or a low pass filter to an image too, you can try an echo/delay on images for fun if you like.
Pure Data is a bit different, since you patch cords instead of typing lots of code, but it's pretty fun and one of the advantages is that you can make changes live, while your patch/program is running which makes it great for fast prototyping.
Straying a bit from audio signal processing, if you're into generative music, you should have a look at some opensource projects like ChucK, SuperCollider, ixi
or fluxus...some do cool stuff with Haskell.
Update
On the c++ side you can also check out Dr. Mick Grierson's Maximilian library which also includes a nice little addon for OpenFrameworks
It's also worth checking out Sonic Visualiser and Vamp Plugins (a lot of nice goodies there)

I've noticed that the wiki transcriptions for some of the recent Stack Overflow Podcasts are kind of weak. Clearly, this task calls for a computer program. Is transcribing audio to text (ideally with speaker labels so we know who said what) something that could feasibly be accomplished in software? Are there any active open-source software projects attempting to implement such functionality?
Believe me, I have searched for this before. There are slim to none text to speech that are open source or free to use. From my search there weren't any free speech to text synthesizers. These things are so hard to code and expensive that they can't really be made with an open source approach. If you really need this you would have to purchase it from a company. (although I don't know any off the top of my head).
I've looked into this a little. I tried the Microsoft Speech API but got very poor results. I've been wanting to look into the CMU Sphinx project, especially the Transcriber demo.

I'm looking for (linux) command line tools that can help with video editing. I am mostly interested in:
Cutting
Transitions
Effects
Any pointers would be appreciated (I know ffmpeg can do basic cutting, but not much beyond that afaik).
Two tools I use are transcode and mencoder.
Transcode is a suite of command line
utilities for transcoding video and
audio codecs, and for converting
beween different container formats.
A variety of video and audio pre and
post-processing filters are available,
including (but not limited to):
framerate conversion
smoothing
cutting
MEncoder is a free command line video decoding, encoding and filtering tool based on mplayer.
Avisynth under WINE is your best bet. You can use ffmpeg or mencoder to do the actual encoding, and avisynth .avs files for the actual editing. You may have to use mencoder under WINE to access the avs files as well. I haven't tried this myself, but it should work, barring any WINE issues.
If this is part of some production app, if there's any way you can farm the work out to an actual windows computer you'll save yourself a lot of pain.
If you want to get your hands dirty you could try using the gstreamer and Gnonlin to make your own CLI video app. You can actually use a language like Ruby to call gstreamer from, so you don't have to use C.
