Is esound known to be broken on powerpc ?
Is there a better sound daemon that is recommended for powerpc ?

It's known to have caused _me_ endless troubles ;) It's possible that E
is trying to output sound via esound, causing the clicks. Can you try
removing esound and disabling E & gnome sound to see if it helps ? (At
least, we would then know if esound is the culprit).


I disabled X and rebooted my machine. It still clicks and pops. Here are a list of all running processes (ps -A):
