--- Comment #1 from Daniel Schmitz <daniel.schmitz at gmx.info> ---
That one affects me too.
I'm on archlinux, pulseaudio is 4.0.
There are no manpages for parecord, parec or paplay.
If you do "paplay --help", it doesn't tell you it's purpose, like "this program
plays files through pulseaudio".

I wannted to know if I could use it as a drop-in replacement for aplay.
I want to pipe audio to it like " ... | | paplay -p --format=s16le". But it
doesn't say how to specify which file to play or how to specify stdin as
source.
Of course I tried the "-" at the end. But that doesn't work either.
I'm writing this here, because I think that stuff belongs into a manpage or
"--help"-text.
