<sect2><title>Description</title>

<sect3><title>libuniconf, libwvstreams, libwvutils</title>
<para>
These libraries contain the base C++ classes for rapid application
development.
</para></sect3>

<sect3><title>libwvfft</title>
<para><filename class="libraryfile">libwvfft</filename>
enables <application>WvStreams</application> programs to easily handle
Fast-Fourier transforms, instead of forcing the programmer to use the
much harder to use <filename class="libraryfile">libfftw</filename>
interface.
</para></sect3>

<sect3><title>libwvoggspeex</title>
<para><filename class="libraryfile">libwvoggspeex</filename>

Voice over <acronym>IP</acronym> <acronym>CODEC</acronym>.
</para></sect3>

<sect3><title>libwvoggvorbis</title>
<para><filename class="libraryfile">libwvoggvorbis</filename>
enables quick and painless creation of audio streams using the OggVorbis
<acronym>CODEC</acronym>.
</para></sect3>

<sect3><title>libwvqt</title>
<para><filename class="libraryfile">libwvqt</filename>
enables <application>WvStreams</application> to act as the I/O and
configuration back end for <application>Qt</application> and
