[linux-audio-user] [AN] QLoud-0.1 - measuring loudspeaker response

Hi!

I have wrote this app for own audio-DIY use. Probably, somebody else
will find the app useful too. I'll be happy in such case :-)

===== README ======

QLoud is a tool to measure a loudspeaker frequency response.

Writing this app is inspired by excellent applications written
by Fons Adriaensen:

Theoretical background belongs to Angelo Farina:

In particular, this method was used:

Few hints:

- move mouse above "?" sign at plot window and wait,
- to delete measurement, use context menu on mesurements table,
- to see what the app do, just connect app's JACK ports and try,
- to see what your sound card do, use loopback for line in/out,
- using "very smooth" fractional octave smoothing is hungry for
  CPU. So be patient when select more rather 1/3 octave smoothing
  (1/3 octave and less smoothing is rather interactive).

Please, add "QLoud" to your message subject. My email is: a@email-addr-hidden
