It's another way of accessing an audio system such as alsa or
oss. sdl is something like using svgalib instead of vesa - it goes
to the same place, but adds a library layer on top. Also, like
svgalib, it sometimes works better than just oss.

sdl is also available for video out, but AFAIK it only works in
X.
