I would think the perl changes are responsible for not building the deb - the modules worked fine here. BUT: my biggest drawback is esd is not working properly anymore. It makes short breaks and I can hardly call it music. I found one guy on the web attributing this to more than 128MB Ram (and I wanted to add some more MB...) for tcp-connections to esd. unix sockets obviously work fine at his machine but both is kind of broken here. I'm trying to compile the 0.2.8 esd but have some problems getting it to work (with OSS driver, NOT alsa that one is still to be fixed in esd - what I read on alsa-project.org). So, I'm pretty much stuck to OSS sound support and my wife is complaining she can't use my great new speakers ;-).

Here I used the ipchains-module in the 2.4.x config and - at least what I see - it works with my old ipchains script.
