<description>
<p>This tool can be used to introspect or reconfigure a running
PulseAudio sound server during runtime. It connects to the sound
server and offers a simple live shell that can be used to enter
the commands also understood in the <file>default.pa</file>
configuration scripts.</p>
<p>To exit the live shell, use ctrl+d. Note that the 'exit' command
inside the shell will tell the PulseAudio daemon itself to shutdown!</p>
<p>If any arguments are passed on the command line, they will be
passed into the live shell which will process the command and exit.</p>
