+ <description>
+ <p>The <file>pax11publish</file> utility can be used to dump or
+ manipulate the PulseAudio server credentials that can be stored as
+ properties on the X11 root window.</p>
+
+ <p>Please note that the loadable module
+ <file>module-x11-publish</file> exports the same information
+ directly from the PulseAudio sound server, and should in most
+ cases be used in preference over this tool.</p>
+
+ <p>Use the following command to dump the raw
+ PulseAudio-specific data that is stored in your X11 root
+ window:</p>
+
+ <p>xprop -root | grep ^PULSE_</p>
+

+ <option>
+ <p><opt>-d</opt></p>
+
+ <optdesc><p>Read the PulseAudio server credentials currently set
+ on the X11 root window and dump them in a human readable form. This reads the
+ PULSE_SERVER, PULSE_SINK, PULSE_SOURCE and PULSE_COOKIE
+ properties.</p></optdesc>
+ </option>
+
+ <option>
+ <p><opt>-i</opt></p>
+ <optdesc><p>Similar to <opt>-d</opt>, however dumps them in a
+ Bourne shell compatible format so they may be used together with
+ the <file>eval</file> shell command to set the $PULSE_SERVER,
+ $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment variables. Also reads the
+ authentication cookie from the root window and stores it in
+ <file>~/.pulse-cookie</file>. </p></optdesc>
+ </option>
+
+ <option>
+ <p><opt>-e</opt></p>
+
+ <optdesc><p>Export the currently locally used sound server,
+ sink, source configuration to the X11 root window. This takes
+ the data from the $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE
+ environment variables and combines them with the data from
+ <file>~/.pulse/client.conf</file> (or
+ <file>@pulseconfdir@/client.conf</file> if that file does not
+ exist). If specific options are passed on the command line
+ (<opt>-S</opt>, <opt>-O</opt>, <opt>-I</opt>, <opt>-c</opt>, see
