  <description>
    <p><file>esdcompat</file> is a compatibility script that takes the
    same arguments as the ESD sound daemon <manref name="esd"
    section="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 <manref name="gnome-session" section="1"/>
    start up PulseAudio instead of esd.</p>

    <p>It is recommended to make <file>esd</file> a symbolic link to this script.</p>
