+ <p><opt>disallow-module-loading=</opt> Disallow module loading
+ after startup. This is a security feature that makes sure that
+ no further modules may be loaded into the PulseAudio server
+ after startup completed. It is recommended to enable this when
+ <opt>system-instance</opt> is enabled. Please note that certain
+ features like automatic hot-plug support will not work if this

+ algorithm implemented. If you're tight on CPU consider using
+ this. On the other hand it has the worst quality of them
+ all. The Speex resamplers take an integer quality setting in the
+ range 0..9 (bad...good). They exist in two flavours: <opt>fixed</opt> and
+ <opt>float</opt>. The former uses fixed point numbers, the latter relies on
+ floating point numbers. On most desktop CPUs the float point
+ resmampler is a lot faster, and it also offers slightly better
+ quality. See the output of <opt>dump-resample-methods</opt> for
+ a complete list of all available resamplers. Defaults to
+ <opt>speex-float-3</opt>. The <opt>--resample-method</opt>
+ command line option takes precedence. Note that some modules

+ use commands like <opt>--kill</opt> or <opt>--check</opt>. If
+ you are planning to start more than one PulseAudio process per
+ user, you better disable this option since it effectively

+
+ <option>
+ <p><opt>no-cpu-limit=</opt> Do not install the CPU load limiter,

+ <p><opt>high-priority=</opt> Renice the daemon after startup to

+ experience drop-outs during playback. However, this is a certain
+ security issue, since it works when called SUID root only, or
+ RLIMIT_NICE is used. root is dropped immediately after gaining
+ the nice level on startup, thus it is presumably safe. See
+ <manref section="1" name="pulseaudio"/> for more
+ information. Takes a boolean argument, defaults to "yes". The <opt>--high-priority</opt>

+
+ <option>
+ <p><opt>realtime-scheduling=</opt> Try to acquire SCHED_FIFO
+ scheduling for the IO threads. The same security concerns as
+ mentioned above apply. However, if PA enters an endless loop,
+ realtime scheduling causes a system lockup. Thus, realtime
+ scheduling should only be enabled on trusted machines for
+ now. Please not that only the IO threads of PulseAudio are made
+ real-time. The controlling thread is left a normally scheduled
+ thread. Thus enabling the high-priority option is orthogonal.

+
+ <option>
+ <p><opt>realtime-priority=</opt> The realtime priority to

+ by default, 9 for clients. Thus it is recommended to choose the
+ PulseAudio real-time priorities lower. Some PulseAudio threads
+ might choose a priority a little lower or higher than the
+ specified value. Defaults to "5".</p>
+ </option>
+
+ <option>
+ <p><opt>nice-level=</opt> The nice level to acquire for the
