+.SH HEADLESS OPERATION
+Audacious supports a headless operation mode, where Audacious does not use
+X11 and instead operates as a daemon. You should note that you cannot switch
+between daemonized mode and X11 mode, and that if you wish to switch back
+and forth, that you need to do so when starting the program.
+
+When using Audacious in headless mode, you will need a client. Clients
+compatible with Audacious are listed on the Audacious website.
