+Sndio is a small audio and MIDI framework part of the OpenBSD project
+and ported to FreeBSD, Linux and NetBSD. It provides a lightweight audio
+& MIDI server and a fully documented user-space API to access either the
+server or the hardware directly in a uniform way. Sndio is designed to
+work for desktop applications, but pays special attention to
+synchronization mechanisms and reliability required by music
+applications. Reliability through simplicity are part of the project
+goals.
