The sound project maintains the following herds:
| Herd | Members | Description |
| sound | aballier, beandog, chainsaw, chutzpah, genstef, hwoarang, matsuu, ssuominen, tanderson, yngwin | media-sound and related packages |
| alsa | beandog, chainsaw, dsd, ssuominen | Advanced Linux Sound Architecture packages |
| proaudio | aballier, flameeyes, ssuominen | Professional audio applications and libraries |
It's not uncommon that a package is part of sound herd but have a direct maintainer. To avoid misunderstanding, such packages are to be considered maintained by that developer, leaving the herd as a fallback for when the maintainer is away for too much time. Always try to get a hold of the direct maintainer before touching a package that has a direct maintainer.
