-Aeolus is a high quality pipe organ emulator using additive synthesis.
+Libzita-alsa-pcmi is a C++ library for using ALSA audio devices with
+minimal latency and using ALSA's memory-mapped mode (as used by Jack).
+It hides most of the complexity of configuring and using ALSA devices
+in this way.
+
+Input and output audio streams are converted to / from 32-bit float-
+ing point format, regardless of the hardware sample format. By cal-
+ling the read and write functions from a real-time thread, it is ea-
+sy to provide a callback interface, and to write applications that
+work with both ALSA and Jack using the same processing code.
+
+See jaaa or japa for examples.
