I'll throw my two bob in ...
What about:
media-players
or
sound-compose (sound creation apps)
sound-players (players, duh)
sound-libs (sound related bits 'n' bobs .. alsa?)
sound-tools (mixers etc..)
The only drawback with specific sound-* categories is that a good
portion of players (in particular) play more than just sound (ie: video
as well).
