The Handbook's sound chapter has also been updated. For one, the SYNOPSIS of the sound(4) manpage is lying about that you need only "device sound" to get you sound -- you also need "device snd_<driver>". Once the sound-related renaming is done (there are further plans to do some more renames for better consistency in naming), the sound(4) manpage will be replaced by the snd(4) manpage (yeah, welcome back, old good "snd").
