Description
Older audio and MIDI programs can keep using the sndio 6.1 library interface on systems with newer libraries.
This compatibility package is mainly useful when an application was built against that older sndio ABI and cannot run with the current library alone. It does not add an audio control panel or music app; it supplies runtime files needed by dependent programs.
Install it only when software explicitly requires this compatibility library. Normal users usually receive it automatically as a dependency.
