  Description     : The Polypaudio sound server

<snip>
Polypaudio is a sound server for Linux and other Unix like operating
systems. It is intended to be an improved drop-in replacement for the
Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESOUND). In addition to the features ESOUND
provides polypaudio has:

    * Extensible plugin architecture (by loading dynamic loadable modules with dlopen())
    * Support for more than one sink/source
    * Better low latency behaviour
    * Embedabble into other software (the core is available as C library)
    * Completely asynchronous C API
    * Simple command line interface for reconfiguring the daemon while running
    * Flexible, implicit sample type conversion and resampling
    * "Zero-Copy" architecture
    * Module autoloading
    * Very accurate latency measurement for playback and recording
    * May be used to combine multiple sound cards to one (with sample rate adjustment)
</snip>

Together with polypaudio should be packaged:

   xmms-polyp
   libao-polyp
   pavumeter
   paman

(These are all auxilary tools for polypaudio, see the homepage for
links.)
