sndio is the software layer of the OpenBSD operating system that manages sound cards and MIDI ports. It provides an optional sound server and a documented application programming interface to access either the server or the audio and MIDI hardware in a uniform way.[1] sndio is designed to work for desktop applications, but pays special attention to synchronization mechanisms and reliability required by music applications.[2]
