+.SH NAME
+esdcompat \- PulseAudio ESD wrapper script
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBesdcompat [\fIoptions\fB]
+
+esdcompat --help\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.
