- <p>The PulseAudio sound server interprets the file

- doesn't exist <file>@PA_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR@/default.pa</file>. It
- should contain directives in the PulseAudio CLI language, as
+ <p>The PulseAudio sound server interprets a configuration script on
+ startup, which is mainly used to define the set of modules to load. When
+ PulseAudio runs in the per-user mode and
+ <file>~/.config/pulse/default.pa</file> exists, that file is used. When
+ PulseAudio runs in the per-user mode and that file doesn't exist,
+ <file>@PA_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR@/default.pa</file> is used. When PulseAudio
+ runs as a system service, <file>@PA_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR@/system.pa</file> is
+ used.</p>
+
+ <p>The script should contain directives in the PulseAudio CLI language, as
documented in <manref name="pulse-cli-syntax" section="5"/>.</p>
<p>The same commands can also be entered during runtime in the <manref name="pacmd"
