# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on # the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make # exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to # leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| oss: oss (The Open Sound System) oss: oss: The Open Sound System (OSS) is a standard interface for making and oss: capturing sound in Unix operating systems.
