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.
