#sound-card-support 

First part is fine, assuming man pages will be up to date etc. Not sure
about
support for MIDI cards/MPU-401. Is this covered by uart? Don't know whatever 
was "Microsoft® Sound System specification".

#es1370-silent-pcm 

That's one thing, but most often silent device is caused by need for proper 
device.hints, as usual with e.g. snd_hda. This could use mention of it.

#java 

is fine assuming linked content is up to date. Looks it is, but I'm not
using Java.

#midi-sound-files 

I'm not usually creating wavs from midi (honestly, probably nobody is doing 
that for music listening any more, maybe it should be swapped to "how to rip
CD to mp3 or ogg" 
with links to port tools, but maybe this is already old fashioned ;) ) but I
have audio/timidity++ 
installed, and just checked, it still works as described. On the side note,
audio/timidity is broken, 
sound is severely corrupted, this was not the case some time ago.

#x-3d-acceleration 

This should/could be updated a bit, especially that there is no mention of
intel and newer cards, 
and those old ones (matrox etc.) are going to be dropped with newer xorg
(kib@?)
