+<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>
