NAME
esdcompat - PulseAudio ESD wrapper script
SYNOPSIS
esdcompat [options]
esdcompat --help
esdcompat --version
DESCRIPTION
esdcompat is a compatibility 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

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

These internally used options understood by the original esd are
properly handled by esdcompat, however are not to be used manu-
ally.
