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 PulseAu‐
       dio 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.

              These internally used options understood by the original esd are
