- libcanberra is a library providing high-level API for X Keyboard Extension
- known as XKB. This library is intended to support XFree86 and other
- commercial X servers. It is useful for creating XKB-related software
- (layout indicators etc)."
+ libcanberra is an implementation of the XDG Sound Theme and Name
+ Specifications, for generating event sounds on free desktops, such as
+ GNOME. It comes with several backends (ALSA, PulseAudio, OSS, GStreamer, null)
+ and is designed to be portable. It consists of the following parts:
+
+   1. libcanberra: the main library
+   2. libcanberra-gtk: some glue code to make it easier to use libcanberra
+      from Gtk+ applications
+   3. libcanberra-gtk-module: a Gtk+ module that uses libcanberra-gtk to
+      trigger input feedback event sounds"
