NAME padsp - PulseAudio OSS Wrapper

SYNOPSIS padsp [options] PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS ...]

   **padsp -h**

DESCRIPTION padsp starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS compatible audio devices (/dev/dsp and auxiliary devices) to a PulseAudio sound server.

   _padsp_ uses the $LD_PRELOAD environment variable that is interpreted by
   [ld.so(8)](/man/arch/ld.so.8)and thus does not work for SUID binaries and statically built
   executables.

   Equivalent to using _padsp_ is starting an application with $LD_PRELOAD set
   to _libpulsedsp.so_

OPTIONS -h | --help Show help.

   **-s** _SERVER_
          Set the PulseAudio server to connect to.

   **-n** _NAME_
          The client application name that shall be passed to the server
          when connecting.

   **-m** _NAME_
          The stream name that shall be passed to the server when creating a
          stream.

   **-M** Disable _/dev/mixer_ emulation.

   **-S** Disable _/dev/sndstat_ emulation.

   **-D** Disable _/dev/dsp_ emulation.

   **-d** Enable debug output.
