I just started esd with the command 'esd -as 2', which releases the audio device 2 seconds after any sound stops playing. That way you just need to stop or pause any audio player more than 2 seconds before you use anything that directly accesses the audio device. My current audio handles alsa with multiple channels, so I don't need esd anymore. -- Carl Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
