    <para>
      The <application>IcedTea-Sound</application> package contains the
      <xref linkend="pulseaudio"/> provider which was removed from IcedTea
      itself from version 2.5.0 onwards. More providers may be included in
      the future.
    </para>

    <para>
      Because of pulseaudio real-time capabilities, the pulseaudio provider
      is said to provide smoother sound than the default alsa provider.
