.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBesdcompat [\fIoptions\fB]

esdcompat --help\fB

esdcompat --version\fB
\f1
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIesdcompat\f1 is a compatibility script that takes the same arguments as the ESD sound daemon \fBesd(1)\f1, 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 \fBgnome-session(1)\f1 start up PulseAudio instead of esd.

It is recommended to make \fIesd\f1 a symbolic link to this script.
