- <para>FreeBSD supports a wide variety of sound cards, allowing you
- to enjoy high fidelity output from your computer. This includes
- the ability to record and playback audio in the MPEG Audio Layer
- 3 (MP3), WAV, and Ogg Vorbis formats as well as many other
- formats. The FreeBSD Ports Collection also contains
- applications allowing you to edit your recorded audio, add sound
- effects, and control attached MIDI devices.</para>
