+                      Java bindings for OpenAL API, and is designed to provide 
+                      hardware-supported 3D spatialized audio for games written 
+                      in Java. It is part of a suite of open-source technologies 
+                      initiated by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems, 
+                      with intention of making the development of high performance 
+                      game development in Java a reality.</p>
+                    <p>This project also hosts the Sound3D Toolkit, a high level 
+                      API for spatialized audio built on top of the OpenAL bindings. 
+                      This toolkit is designed to provide access to all the features 
+                      of OpenAL through an intuitive, easy to use, object-oriented 
+                      interface. </p>
