+
+  <description>
+    <p>The PulseAudio sound server reads configuration directives from
+    a file <file>~/.pulse/daemon.conf</file> on startup, and when that
+    file doesn't exist from
+    <file>@pulseconfdir@/daemon.conf</file>. Please note that the
+    server also reads a configuration script on startup
+    <file>default.pa</file> which also contains runtime configuration
+    directives.</p>
+
+    <p>The configuration file is a simple collection of variable
+    declarations. If the configuration file parser encounters either ;
+    or # for it ignores the rest of the line until its end.</p>
+
+    <p>For the settings that take a boolean argument, the values
+    <opt>true</opt>, <opt>yes</opt>, <opt>on</opt> and <opt>1</opt>
+    are equivalent, resp. <opt>false</opt>, <opt>no</opt>,
+    <opt>off</opt>, <opt>0</opt>.</p>
+

+
+  <section name="General Directives">
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>daemonize= </opt> Daemonize after startup. Takes a
+      boolean value, defaults to "no". The <opt>--daemonize</opt>
+      command line option takes precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>fail=</opt> Fail to start up if any of the directives
+      in the configuration script <file>default.pa</file>
+      fail. Takes a boolean argument, defaults to "yes". The <opt>--fail</opt> command line
+      option takes precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <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
+      option is enabled. Takes a boolean argument, defaults to
+      <opt>no</opt>. The <opt>--disallow-module-loading</opt> command line
+      option takes precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>resample-method=</opt> The resampling algorithm to
+      use. Use one of <opt>src-sinc-best-quality</opt>,
+      <opt>src-sinc-medium-quality</opt>, <opt>src-sinc-fastest</opt>,
+      <opt>src-zero-order-hold</opt>, <opt>src-linear</opt>,
+      <opt>trivial</opt>, <opt>speex-float-N</opt>,
+      <opt>speex-fixed-N</opt>, <opt>ffmpeg</opt>. See the
+      documentation of libsamplerate for an explanation for the
+      different src- methods. The method <opt>trivial</opt> is the most basic
+      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
+      overwrite or allow overwriting of the resampler to use.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>use-pid-file=</opt> Create a PID file in
+      <file>/tmp/pulse-$USER/pid</file>. Of this is enabled you may
+      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
+      disables multiple instances. Takes a boolean argument, defaults
+      to <opt>yes</opt>. The <opt>--no-cpu-limit</opt> command line
+      option takes precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>no-cpu-limit=</opt> Do not install the CPU load limiter,
+      even on platforms where it is supported. This option is useful
+      when debugging/profiling PulseAudio to disable disturbing
+      SIGXCPU signals. Takes a boolean argument, defaults to <opt>no</opt>. The
+      <opt>--no-cpu-limit</opt> command line argument takes
+      precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>system-instance=</opt> Run the daemon as system-wide
+      instance, requires root priviliges. Takes a boolean argument,
+      defaults to <opt>no</opt>. The <opt>--system</opt> command line
+      argument takes precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>disable-shm=</opt> Disable data transfer via POSIX
+      shared memory. Takes a boolean argument, defaults to
+      <opt>no</opt>. The <opt>--disable-shm</opt> command line
+      argument takes precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+  </section>
+
+  <section name="Scheduling">
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>high-priority=</opt> Renice the daemon after startup to
+      become a high-priority process. This a good idea if you
+      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>
+      command line option takes precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <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.
+      See <manref section="1" name="pulseaudio"/> for more
+      information. Takes a boolean argument, defaults to "no". The
+      <opt>--realtime</opt> command line option takes precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>realtime-priority=</opt> The realtime priority to
+      acquire, if <opt>realtime-scheduling</opt> is enabled. Note: JACK uses 10
+      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
+      daemon, if <opt>high-priority</opt> is enabled. Note: on some
+      distributions X11 uses -10 by default. Defaults to -11.</p>
+    </option>
+
+  </section>
+
+  <section name="Idle Times">
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>exit-idle-time=</opt> Terminate the daemon after the
+      last client quit and this time in seconds passed. Use a negative value to
+      disable this feature. Defaults to -1. The
+      <opt>--exit-idle-time</opt> command line option takes
+      precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>module-idle-time=</opt> Unload autoloaded modules after
+      being idle for this time in seconds. Defaults to 20. The
+      <opt>--module-idle-time</opt> command line option takes
+      precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>scache-idle-time=</opt> Unload autoloaded sample cache
+      entries after being idle for this time in seconds. Defaults to
+      20. The <opt>--scache-idle-time</opt> command line option takes
+      precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+  </section>
+
+  <section name="Paths">
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>dl-search-path=</opt> The path were to look for dynamic
+      shared objects (DSOs/plugins). You may specify more than one
+      path seperated by colons. The default path depends on compile
+      time settings. The <opt>--dl-search-path</opt> command line
+      option takes precedence. </p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>default-script-file=</opt> The default configuration
+      script file to load. Specify an empty string for not loading a
+      default script file. The default behaviour is to load
+      <file>~/.pulse/default.pa</file>, and if that file does not
+      exist fall back to the system wide installed version
+      <file>@pulseconfdir@/default.pa</file>. If <opt>-n</opt> is
+      passed on the command line the default configuration script is
+      ignored.</p>
+    </option>
+
+  </section>
+
+  <section name="Logging">
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>log-target=</opt> The default log target. Use either
+      <opt>stderr</opt>, <opt>syslog</opt> or <opt>auto</opt>. The
+      latter is equivalent to <opt>sylog</opt> in case
+      <opt>daemonize</opt> is enabled, otherwise to
+      <opt>stderr</opt>. Defaults to <opt>auto</opt>. The
+      <opt>--log-target</opt> command line option takes
+      precedence.</p>
+    </option>
+
+    <option>
+      <p><opt>log-level=</opt> Log level, one of <opt>debug</opt>,
+      <opt>info</opt>, <opt>notice</opt>, <opt>warning</opt>,
+      <opt>error</opt>. Log messages with a lower log level than
+      specified here are not logged. Defaults to
+      <opt>notice</opt>. The <opt>--log-level</opt> command line
+      option takes precedence. The <opt>-v</opt> command line option
+      might alter this setting.</p>

+
+  </section>
+
+  <section name="Resource Limits">
+
+    <p>See <manref name="getrlimit" section="2"/> for
