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.
