+The sound(4) facility provides an API based on the Open Sound System (OSS)
+to allow applications to play and record audio through physical or virtual
+audio devices.
+
+This package provides several sound-related userland utilities:
+
+* mixer(8) can adjust the playback and recording levels of audio devices.
+
+* sndctl(8) can display and modify audio device configuration.
+
+* The virtual_oss(8) daemon can be used to configure flexible virtual audio
+  devices which can be used by any application.
+
+* beep(1) can play a beep sound.
+
+* mididump(1) can monitor the incoming MIDI events on a MIDI port.
