-PortAudio is a portable API for audio I/O. It allows people writing audio
-programs to easily access the audio devices.
+PortAudio provides a very simple API for recording and/or playing
+sound using a simple callback function or a blocking read/write
+interface. Example programs are included that play sine waves,
+process audio input (guitar fuzz), record and playback audio, list
+available audio devices, etc.
