+=head1 NAME
+
+dtas-sourceedit - edit parameters of a source decoder
+
+=head1 SYNOPSYS
+
+dtas-sourceedit {sox | av | ff}
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+dtas-sourceedit spawns an editor to allow editing of a source as a YAML file.
+See L<dtas-player_protocol(7)> for details on SOURCEARGS.  If standard input is
+a pipe or file, it is parsed as YAML and fed to the L<dtas-player(1)> instance
+non-interactively.  This is useful for loading various profiles from the
+filesystem.
+
+On Linux machines with the sleepy_penguin RubyGem installed, L<inotify(7)>
+is used to monitor the file for changes while the text exitor is running.
+Each time a user finishes saving a file, changes are committed immediately.
+This behavior may be disabled by using the -N or --no-watch command-line
+switch.

+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+Invoking dtas-sourceedit will spawn your favorite text editor on "sox":
+
+        $ dtas-sourceedit sox
+
+To load an existing YAML profile for sox.  saved.yml could be the output
+of a previous "dtas-ctl source cat sox" invocation:
+
+        $ dtas-sourceedit sox < saved.yml
+
+To change the way dtas-player calls avconv (part of libav):
+
+        $ dtas-sourceedit av
+
+To change the way dtas-player calls ffmpeg (lightly-tested):
+
+        $ dtas-sourceedit ff
+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+VISUAL / EDITOR - your favorite *nix text editor, defaults to 'vi' if unset.
+
+DTAS_PLAYER_SOCK - the path to the dtas-player control socket.
+This defaults to ~/.dtas/player.sock
