.SH NAME
padsp \- PulseAudio OSS Wrapper
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBpadsp [\fIoptions\fB] \fIPROGRAM\fB [\fIARGUMENTS ...\fB]

padsp -h\fB
\f1
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIpadsp\f1 starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS compatible audio devices (\fI/dev/dsp\f1 and auxiliary devices) to a PulseAudio sound server.

\fIpadsp\f1 uses the $LD_PRELOAD environment variable that is interpreted by \fBld.so(8)\f1 and thus does not work for SUID binaries and statically built executables.

Equivalent to using \fIpadsp\f1 is starting an application with $LD_PRELOAD set to \fIlibpulsedsp.so\f1
