NAME

       esdcompat - PulseAudio ESD wrapper script

SYNOPSIS

       esdcompat [options]

       esdcompat --help

       esdcompat --version

DESCRIPTION

       esdcompat is a compatiblity script that takes the same arguments as the
       ESD sound daemon esd(1), but uses them to start a the PulseAudio  sound
       server  with  the  appropriate  parameters.  It  is  required  to  make
       PulseAudio a drop-in replacement for esd, i.e. it can be used  to  make
       gnome-session(1) start up PulseAudio instead of esd.

       It is recommended to make esd a symbolic link to this script.

OPTIONS

       -h | --help
              Show help.

       --version
              Show version information.

       -tcp | -promiscuous | -d | -b | -r | -as | -unix | -public | -terminate
       | -nobeeps | -trust | -port | -bind
              These  options  understood  by  the  original esd are ignored by
              esdcompat.

       -spawnpid | -spawnfd
              These internally used options understood by the original esd are
              properly  handled  by  esdcompat,  however  are  not  to be used
              manually.
