@subsubsection Sound Services
@cindex sound support
@cindex ALSA
@cindex PulseAudio, sound support
The @code{(gnu services sound)} module provides an
@code{alsa-service-type} service to generate an ALSA
@file{/etc/asound.conf} configuration file. This configuration file is
what allows applications that produce sound using ALSA to be correctly
handled.
@deffn {Scheme Variable} alsa-service-type
This is the type for the @uref{https://alsa-project.org/, ALSA},
@command{alsa-configuration} record as in this example:
@example
(service alsa-service-type)
@end example
See below for details about @code{alsa-configuration}.
@end deffn
@deftp {Data Type} alsa-configuration
Data type representing the configuration for @code{alsa-service}.
@table @asis
@item @code{pulseaudio?} (default: @var{#t})
Whether ALSA applications should transparently be made to use the
@uref{http://www.pulseaudio.org/, PulseAudio} sound server.
Using PulseAudio allows you to run several sound-producing applications
at the same time and to individual control them @i{via}
@command{pavucontrol}, among other things.
@item @code{extra-options} (default: @var{""})
String to append to the @file{asound.conf} file.
