The first method I try for any Apple TV issue is to reset the device (Hold the Play & Menu button simultaneously on the remote for 6 seconds)
Source: [Wayback] Fix Apple TV No Sound Issue – AppleTV2
This usually works for me too and is easier/faster than fiddling with the solutions mentioned at Wayback: Apple TV: HDMI audio stops working – Apple Support (which now has moved to [Wayback] Get help with audio, video, or power on Apple TV – Apple Support).
After releasing Play&Menu buttons, wait for the Apple TV to reboot itself and listen if your remote-buttons will give you audio-feedback from the Apple TV. If that works, then audio on multi-media works fine too.
This is way cheaper than putting additional hardware in the HDMI chain as described in [Wayback] The fix for AppleTV HDMI audio and video woes and HDMI problem solving | The Poor Audiophile
In my setup the [Wayback] Apple TV 3rd generation is hooked up to a [Wayback] Harman Kardon BDS 580 receiver/blue-ray-player.

A friend of mine made the mistake to capture some CDs using WMA files and throwing away the CDs. His old Nokia could play them, but not his new iOS and Android devices.
ffmeg and bash to the rescue:
find . -iname "*.wma" -execdir bash -c 'NAME="{}" && ffmpeg -y -i "$NAME" -ab 192k "${NAME/.wma/.mp3}" -map_metadata 0:s:0 && rm "$NAME"' \;

Every now and then I want to download or play a (fragment of a) YouTube video.
This is what I use to grab the video as music: YouTube to MP4 & MP3 Converter and Video Download – ClipConverter.cc
Then I use Audacity to create fragments.

Since G+ is very bad at searching, I created this summary of the tools; read the full G+ post (Google Translate is quite OK), including comments on why.
Edit: 20160402 – I’m posting regular updates based on the comments for that G+ post. I’ve changed or added German iTunes store links to US-English ones.

Just wow (via Joe C. Hecht):
Linux-Based Low-Latency Multichannel Audio System (CTAG face2|4)
We’ve developed a multichannel audio system based on the AD1938 audio codec by Analog Devices and the BeagleBone Green (TI AM335X SoC).The audio system offers 2 stereo inputs and 4 stereo outputs.The whole project is based on open source software.To demonstrate the possibilities of the audio system, I’ve created a surround delay effect with the open source C++ library DSPatch by Marcus Tomlinson.Moreover I’ve created an automatic test based on GNU octave to evaluate the audio system characteristis, such as latency, THD+N, DNR, crosstalk and frequency-response.
