+PulseAudio emulation for ALSA.
+
+The program provides an alternative partial implementation of the PulseAudio
+API. It consists of a loader script and a number of shared libraries with the
+same names as from original PulseAudio, so applications could dynamically load
+them and think they are talking to PulseAudio. Internally, no separate sound
+mixing daemon is used. Instead, apulse relies on ALSA's dmix, dsnoop, and plug
+plugins to handle multiple sound sources and capture streams running at the same
+time. dmix plugin muxes multiple playback streams; dsnoop plugin allow multiple
+applications to capture from a single microphone; and plug plugin transparently
+converts audio between various sample formats, sample rates and channel numbers.
+For more than a decade now, ALSA comes with these plugins enabled and configured
+by default. Cmake is required to build it.
+
+Note: It's recommended to uninstall PulseAudio before install apulse.
