Needle drops, +pitch changes, scratching, spinbacks and rewinds are all supported, +and feel just like the audio is pressed onto the vinyl itself. + +The focus is on an accurate vinyl feel which is efficient, stable +and fast. + +Optionally install `faad' (AAC) and/or `ffmpeg' in advance for various +additional audio formats. With stock Slackware packages, it already +supports MP3, OGG, FLAC, WAV, AIFC & PCM. +`xwax-import` needs `ffmpeg' for other media than MP3 or CDAUDIO. + +Note: +xwax does not work without realtime priorities and so uses POSIX +filesystem capabilities to execute with elevated privileges +(required for realtime audio processing). This may be considered +a security/stability risk. +Please read http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. + +Optional dependencies: faad, ffmpeg |
