Polypaudio is a sound server for UNIX. It is intended to be an improved
drop-in replacement for the Enlightenment Sounds Daemon (ESOUND). In
addition to the features ESDOUND provides, polypaudio has:
* Extensible plugin architecture (by loading dynamic modules with dlopen())
* Support for more than one sink/source
* Better low latency behavior
* Embedable 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)
* Client side latency interpolation

Remove polypaudio. It has been depcreated for a while, and is no longer
maintained or fetchable from its old MASTER_SITE. It has been replaced by
pulseaudio.
Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
Add polypaudio, a sound server for UNIX that is designed to be a drop-in
replacement for ESOUND with a few more bells and whistles:
* 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 recordin.
* May be used to combine multiple sound cards to one (with sample rate
adjustment)
* Client side latency interpolation
