I think esound is the "elightened sound daemon", esd, which provides sound mixing services, basically. I suppose if esd is running, other apps can't bind directly to /dev/dsp but have to go through esd. my box doesn't have sound working at the moment, so I'm just remembering this stuff, I may be up the creek. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
