You could `grep -v library`, but then you'd miss out on the midi player that's packaged with its library (wildmidi). Stroller.

I'd first do a "ls /usr/portage/ | grep sound\|audio" to find out audio categories within the portage tree.

Here's one way that I like to look for these, Meino:
eix --stable -c -S audio
Obviously there's no easy way to get a noise-free listing of what you
want, but I've often found looking for text in the description with the
-S is a useful method.
well, there is this: (don't forget the trailing slash!)
`eix -c media-sound/`
but for a whole category you'll definitely want to use '-c', there is so
much... but all audio related even without audio in the name or
description.
If you know your application lives in a specific category, then you
should use the "-C category". But Meino's question specifically asked
how to get ANY audio related application out of all of portage. That
means you have to search WITHOUT a category, unless of course you are
doing searches through each individual category in search of some string.
The lowercase -c compresses the output to include the header. The
uppercase -C forces a category. You can use wildcards on categories, for
instance, "-C sci-* ks" returns entries from
sci-{chemistry,electronics,libs,visualization}.
