topologies described with -smp include all possible cpus, i.e.
@math{@var{sockets} * @var{cores} * @var{threads} = @var{maxcpus}}.
+@subsection -vnc acl (since 4.0.0)

+the current values of the environment variables to ``-audiodev'' options.
+
+@subsection -realtime (since 4.1)
+
+The @code{-realtime mlock=on|off} argument has been replaced by the
+@code{-overcommit mem-lock=on|off} argument.
