This holds true even when you get paid and even as those around you start to consider you a good programmer. At best, your code becomes organized chaos. Don't sell yourself short. You're a programmer. You built something cool. And you shared it with the world, so thanks for that.
On the topic of audio visualisation on Linux, is there anything like the good old Winamp visualisations available? I miss the early 2000s, golden age of music thanks to napster and its successors.
VSXu is more than just a visualizer though. It is a very powerful Visual Programming Language, which is mostly used to create music visuals. You can feed it audio using pulseaudio, so it can work with any audio source in most modern linux distros.
You can even compile VLC with support for VSXu.
I wrote a basic VSXu plugin for both Amarok and Tomahawk media players but had to put them on a pause because of the bad state of Phonon Backends back then. Feel free to resurrect them :)
Hey thanks! I've been running some LED strips from a raspberry pi and running an AirPlay server on it, I've been using Hyperion to control the LED's from my Kodi machine to get something like ambilight, and have been wanting to virtualize audio ever since, but could never figure out how. This readme explains how the audio loop works so perhaps I can get started on something now, thanks!
