31    <p>This tool can be used to introspect or reconfigure a running
32    PulseAudio sound server during runtime. It connects to the sound
33    server and offers a simple live shell that can be used to enter
34    the commands also understood in the <file>default.pa</file>
35    configuration scripts.</p>
36
37    <p>To exit the live shell, use ctrl+d. Note that the 'exit' command
38    inside the shell will tell the PulseAudio daemon itself to shutdown!</p>
39
40    <p>If any arguments are passed on the command line, they will be
41    passed into the live shell which will process the command and exit.</p>
