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.

       -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.
