PulseAudio, previously known as Polypaudio, is a sound server for
POSIX and Win32 systems. A sound server is basically a proxy for your
sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations on your
sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware.
Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing
the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one
are easily achieved using a sound server.

PulseAudio has been tested on Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Windows 2000
and Windows XP. It should also run on all other POSIX and Windows
systems, but may require new backends to handle their sound systems.
