Using RealPlayer 10 and it won't output sound anymore, just video,

Is the audio device in use? Try 'aumix -W90; killall esd artsd' and then
try again. Also try 'fuser /dev/dsp /dev/audio /dev/mixer', that should
output nothing. What are the permissions/owner/group on those devices?
Gnome is using esd. I killed it as you said but didn't get any joy.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fuser /dev/dsp /dev/audio /dev/mixer
/dev/audio: No such file or directory
/dev/.static/dev: Permission denied
/dev/mixer: 5197 7145
Do I need permissions of some group for my user?
I tried aoss realplay following some advice I googled, but still no sound.
It says 'cannot open audio device, another application may be using it'
if I try playing an OGG file.
If I try a stream from online, it give no errors, it just remains silent.
There seem to me to be conflicting events, e.g. I find esd running, like
this:
adam 9763 1 0 21:53 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/esd -terminate
-nobeeps -as 5 -spawnfd 18
but then when I kill that and try realplay, still no dice.
And confusingly when I then play xmms, esd doesn't re-appear, so I don't
know what debian is using to handle sound now.
