Matt Campbell <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Useful Sound Daemon
System name: usound
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The Useful Sound Daemon, or USound for short, is an audio I/O daemon for 
Unix-like systems. It provides low-latency mixing of an arbitrary number of 
audio streams with sample rate conversion and limited format conversion, as 
well as audio recording. It accepts connections from clients through Unix 
domain sockets; TCP/IP support may be added in the future.  The daemon uses the 
Open Sound System (OSS) interface to access the audio device, and it uses GNU 
Pth for non-preemptive multithreading.  USound is known to run on GNU/Linux 
systems and may work on other Unix-like systems as well.  USound is written in 
C.

A C library enables client applications to use USound through a simple API. The 
package also includes a plugin for the libao audio output library, and patches 
for madplay and MPlayer.

USound is somewhat similar to the Enlightened Sound Daemon (EsounD), but as the 
name suggests, USound aims to be more useful, particularly for end-user desktop 
and multimedia applications.
