For FreeBSD sort of, I'll quote from the man page sound(4) which is
an excellent overview of sound support in FreeBSD.
HISTORY
The sound device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.6 as pcm, written
by Luigi Rizzo. It was later rewritten in FreeBSD 4.0 by Cameron
Grant. The API evolved from the VOXWARE standard which later became OSS
standard.
