+      <optdesc><p>Specify how the stream should be routed. The argument is
+      a comma-separated list of node names. The possibility to specify multiple
+      nodes exists so that the stream can be played to multiple devices
+      simultaneously. As of version 6.0, the server doesn't yet support this,
+      however.</p>
+
+      <p>The --device and --monitor-stream options also control the routing,
+      and to avoid confusion, it's not possible to use --routing together with
+      --device and --monitor-stream. Which option is "better", then? --routing
+      is the most recent addition, and it sort of supersedes both the --device
+      and --monitor-stream options, but sometimes it may be more convenient to
+      use the old options. Choose whichever option suits you best.</p>
+
+      <p>As of PulseAudio 6.0, there is one significant drawback with --routing
+      compared to --device: the node names for devices are not "stable", which
+      means that the node name of a device can be different after a reboot or
+      after the device has been removed and added back to the system. Sink and
+      source names, which are used with the --device option, tend to stay the
+      same for longer times (ideally forever, but we can't really promise
+      that). This problem with node names will hopefully go away eventually.
