+This is FineAudio, a replacement for FNA's Audio subsystem.
+
+About FineAudio
+----------------
+FineAudio is basically MoonWorks Audio with an FNA dependency.
+It intends to deal with some of the missing pieces of XNA audio and make it easier to use.
+
+Usage
+-----
+Create the AudioDevice:
+
+```cs
+AudioDevice = new FineAudio.AudioDevice();
+```
+
+Load your sound effects and music:
+```cs
+StaticSound.Load(AudioSystem, "sword.wav");
+StreamingSoundOgg.Load(AudioSystem, "my_song.ogg");
+```
+
+Sound playback is controlled via sound instances.
+Streaming sounds are already instances, but static sounds need to have instances created from them.
+
+```cs
+var swordSound = StaticSound.LoadWav(AudioSystem, "sword.wav");
+var swordSoundInstance = swordSound.GetInstance();
+swordSoundInstance.Play();
+
+MySong = StreamingSoundOgg.Load(AudioSystem, "my_song.ogg");
+MySong.Play();
+```
+
+You are responsible for managing these instances!
+If you lose track of sound instances, unpredictable things will happen,
+like sudden interruption of playback or memory leaks.
