a basic and lightweight beat detection library written for Qt with alsa and pulseaudio support
= libbeat
This is libbeat, a lightweight beat detection library for Qt. It currently supports ALSA[http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page] and PulseAudio[http://www.pulseaudio.org/]. It uses fftw[http://www.fftw.org/] to process the samples.
Only tested on Linux.
The software is still in development and pre-alpha.
== Sample Application
The library comes with a sample Qt Application, simply run
qmake make
in the root directory to build it.
Make sure you have fftw3, alsa (or PulseAudio) and Qt4 installed!
=== Testing
When running the application, make sure to declare the right LIBRARY_PATH. This should work from within the SoundAnalyser directory:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../src ./SoundAnalyser
