DESCRIPTION

16       This tool can be used to introspect or reconfigure a running PulseAudio
17       sound server during runtime. It connects to the sound server and offers
18       a  simple live shell that can be used to enter the commands also under‐
19       stood in the default.pa configuration scripts.
20
21       To exit the live shell, use ctrl+d. Note that the 'exit' command inside
22       the shell will tell the PulseAudio daemon itself to shutdown!
23
24       If  any  arguments  are passed on the command line, they will be passed
25       into the live shell which will process the command and exit.
