Mandriva: Subject: [Security Announce] [ MDVA-2008:148 ] pulseaudio
LinuxSecurity.com: Some issues relating to thread cancellation have been discovered in the pulseaudio package shipped with Mandriva Linux 2009.0. These issues could result in the crash of an application acting as a pulseaudio client. This condition is greatly exacerbated when the client is unable to connect to the pulseaudio server. Due to the fact that libcanberra is used to play event sounds in GTK apps, this problem could present itself when running GTK applications as root which, under some circumstances, was unable to connect to the user's pulseaudio daemon.

esdcompat(1)						      General Commands Manual						      esdcompat(1)

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.
