The IcedTea-Sound package contains the PulseAudio-5.0 provider which was removed from IcedTea itself from version 2.5.0 onwards. More providers may be included in the future.
Because of pulseaudio real-time capabilities, the pulseaudio provider is said to provide smoother sound than the default alsa provider.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7 platform.
