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

    <p><file>padsp</file> uses the $LD_PRELOAD environment variable
    that is interpreted by <manref name="ld.so" section="8"/> and thus
    does not work for SUID binaries and statically built
    executables.</p>

    <p>Equivalent to using <file>padsp</file> is starting an
    application with $LD_PRELOAD set to
    <file>libpulsedsp.so</file></p>
