  <description>
    <p>This tool can be used to introspect or reconfigure a running
    PulseAudio sound server during runtime. It connects to the sound
    server and offers a simple live shell that can be used to enter
    the commands also understood in the <file>default.pa</file>
    configuration scripts.</p>

    <p>To exit the live shell, use ctrl+d. Note that the 'exit' command
    inside the shell will tell the PulseAudio daemon itself to shutdown!</p>

    <p>If any arguments are passed on the command line, they will be
    passed into the live shell which will process the command and exit.</p>
