+<title>PulseAudio</title>
+
+  <p><sys>PulseAudio</sys> is a sound server, a background process accepting
+  sound input from one or more sources. It is used for playing any sound
+  in the system. <sys>PulseAudio</sys> enables advanced settings, such as
+  setting different sound volume for different applications or sending sound
+  through a local net.</p>
+
+  <p>Being a proxy server to sound applications, <sys>PulseAudio</sys> uses
+  existing kernel sound components, such as <sys>ALSA</sys> (<sys>Advanced Linux
+  Sound Architecture</sys>) or <sys>OSS</sys> (<sys>Open Sound System </sys>).
+  The server works as follows. <sys>PulseAudio</sys> provides a virtual device
+  which communicates with the configured <sys>ALSA</sys> and applications output
+  sound to <sys>PulseAudio</sys>, which then uses <sys>ALSA</sys> itself to
+  access the real sound card.</p>
+  
+  <p>Moreover, <sys>PulseAudio</sys> provides its own interface to
+  applications that are able to support <sys>PulseAudio</sys> directly,
+  as well as a legacy interface for <sys>ESD</sys> (Enlightened Sound Daemon)
+  applications, making it suitable as a drop-in replacement for <sys>ESD</sys>.</p>
