[note: i didn't add solved to the subject because the problem is just
avoided, not actually solved]
ditching esd (use gnome configuration tool - multimedia settings)
"solves" the problems for now.. man pages and other doc for esd/esound
isn't too great, i didn't find a homepage - but didn't look too hard
yet.. it is 0.x version software after all, maybe it just needs some
work..
thanks to everyone who gave a hand..
