NAME
       padsp - PulseAudio OSS Wrapper

SYNOPSIS
       padsp [options] PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS ...]

       padsp -h

DESCRIPTION
       padsp starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS com‐
       patible audio devices (/dev/dsp and auxiliary devices) to a  PulseAudio
       sound server.

       padsp  uses the $LDPRELOAD environment variable that is interpreted by
       ld.so(8) and thus does not work for SUID binaries and statically  built
       executables.

       Equivalent  to  using padsp is starting an application with $LDPRELOAD
       set to libpulsedsp.so
