vocoder (standalone JACK vocoder effect) A vocoder is a sound effect that can make a human voice sound synthetic. It is often used to speak like a robot, with a metallic and monotonous voice. This is a standalone JACK application. For a LADSPA version of the same effect, see vocoder-ladspa. This package 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. To disable capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.
