+pulseaudio is a networked sound server for Unix-like operating systems
+and Microsoft Windows. It is intended to be an improved drop-in replacement
+for the Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESOUND).
+
+Pulseaudio will need a pulse group/user to run. You can add one with
+ # groupadd -g 214 pulse
+ # useradd -u 214 -g pulse -d /var/lib/pulse pulse
+or something similar. See http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt
+
+Pulseaudio requires liboil, libatomic_ops, libsamplerate and libsndfile,
+and libcap. It will also make use of jack-audio-connection-kit. All of
+these dependencies are available at SlackBuilds.org.
