- Description:
- CAVA (Cross-platform Audio Visualizer) is a bar spectrum audio visualizer for
the terminal (ncurses) or desktop (SDL). It also provides a GLSL shader output
backend which can enhance the desktop experience even more. The supported input
backends include OSS, sndio, JACK, portaudio, pulseaudio and fifo.
This program is not intended for scientific use. It's written to look
responsive and aesthetic when used to visualize music.

- USES:
- compiler:c11 localbase pkgconfig gl ncurses sdl
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- If you want to visualize your currently played back audio then be aware that the
audio backends OSS and sndio can't feed the outgoing audio directly into CAVA
without further setup:
* For OSS you need to use audio/virtual_oss in order to create a loopback
audio device.
* For sndio you need to start a sndio server and create a monitoring
sub-device.
Please see /usr/local/share/doc/cava/README.md for additional help and instructions.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
