Open Source Development and Media Andy Li  [email_address] Software Freedom Day
Who am I? Andy  Studying... Bachelor of Science in Creative Media City University of Hong Kong Today as a open source developer, who started the  stk in as3  project.
What is  stk in as3 ? ActionScript (3) port of The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ (STK) " a set of open source audio signal processing and algorithmic synthesis classes "  -from STK in C++ homepage
Sound generated by algorithms!  (and play by humans) photos from Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastpole/3911240842/  http://www.flickr.com/photos/mascarenhas/74213732/
STK are used by or can be used with... Softwares:  CSound  Max/MSP   SuperCollider
Hardware implementation, by Yamaha!
Why we need a AS3 port? Flash is good at handling multimedia... but not sound. Dynamic sound generation,  from Flash Player 10 (October 2008)  => may result in smaller file size because no audio source is embeded => much more possibility for creating apps or art pieces that run in browsers!
Show time! http://blog.onthewings.net/2009/03/22/the-synthesis-toolkit-in-as3/
Few more open source projects related to media (not by me) Flash:  Degrafa http://www.degrafa.org/ Popforge http://code.google.com/p/popforge/  standingwave http://code.google.com/p/standingwave/ FLARtoolkit  http://www.libspark.org/wiki/saqoosha/FLARToolKit/en
