Hi, I tried taking "-terminate" out of my esd.conf. I logged out and
back in. Indeed esd was started by Gnome (as I have sound for Gnome
enabled) and without the "-terminate" argument but Flash would not play
correctly in a browser until I killed the esd process. Once I killed
the process, I could play Flash and applications like xmms would start
their own esd process for sound but system/event sounds (from Gnome
and such) could no longer be heard.
