LUCRE stands for Local and User-Created Services. The project is part of the Flexible Services research programme, one of the programmes of the Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation in the ICT field (TIVIT) and funded by Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) and the participating organizations. The Flexible Service Programme creates service business activity for global markets. The programme has the aim of creating a Web of Services. The programme creates new types of ecosystems, in which the producers of services, the people that convey the service and the users all work together in unison. As part of such ecosystems, LUCRE will develop an easy-to-use, visual service creation platform to support the creation of context aware mobile services. The goal is to support user-driven open innovation: the end- users (people, local businesses, communities) will be provided with tools to compose new services or to modify existing ones. The service creation platform will build on the technology of existing mashup tools, widget frameworks, and publish/subscribe mechanisms.

DESCRIPTION Displays information from the header of a givenaudio file or files. Supported audio file types are listed and described in soxformat(7). Note however, that soxi is intended for use only with audio files with a self- describing header. By default, as much information as is available is shown. An option may be giventoselect just a single piece of information (perhaps for use in a script or batch-file). OPTIONS −V Set verbosity.See sox(1) for details. −T Used with multiple files; changes the behaviour of −s, −d and −D to display the total across all givenfiles. Note that when used with −s with files with different sampling rates, this is of ques- tionable value. −t Showdetected file-type. −r Showsample-rate. −c Shownumber of channels. −s Shownumber of samples (0 if unavailable). −d Showduration in hours, minutes and seconds (0 if unavailable).

    SoX(1) Sound eXchange SoX(1) NAME SoX − Sound eXchange, the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation SYNOPSIS sox [global-options][format-options] infile1 [[format-options] infile2]... [format-options] outfile [effect [effect-options]] ... play [global-options][format-options] infile1 [[format-options] infile2]... [format-options] [effect [effect-options]] ... rec [global-options][format-options] outfile [effect [effect-options]] ... DESCRIPTION Introduction SoX reads and writes audio files in most popular formats and can optionally apply effects to them. It can combine multiple input sources, synthesise audio, and, on manysystems, act as a general purpose audio player or a multi-track audio recorder.Italso has limited ability to split the input into multiple output files. All SoX functionality is available using just the sox command. Tosimplify playing and recording audio, if SoX is invokedas play,the output file is automatically set to be the default sound device, and if invokedas rec,the default sound device is used as an input source. Additionally,the soxi(1) command provides a con- venient way to just query audio file header information. The heart of SoX is a library called libSoX. Those interested in extending SoX or using it in other pro- grams should refer to the libSoX manual page: libsox(3). SoX is a command-line audio processing tool, particularly suited to making quick, simple edits and to batch processing. If you need an interactive,graphical audio editor,use audacity(1). *** The overall SoX processing chain can be summarised as follows: Input(s) → Combiner → Effects → Output(s) Note however, that on the SoX command line, the positions of the Output(s) and the Effects are swapped w.r.t.
