I think your best bet will be something like:

   eix -c -C '*sound*'

Unfortunately there are c 385 items in the media-sound category, and I would guess libraries will be mixed in with apps amongst those. You could `grep -v library`, but then you'd miss out on the midi player that's packaged with its library (wildmidi).
