Remaining problem that I have is that if I enable the Gnome Sound Server

plays fine. However if I start up xmms and also play a file there it 
doesn't work.(I also see this in Fedora) It seems that I can only play 
sound from one source. In windooz the card plays fine with multiple
sources.


Take a look at the command arguments for esd.  It's possible to tell
esd to not hang onto /dev/dsp when it doesn't need it.
My /etc/esound/esd.conf says:

[esd]
auto_spawn=1
spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2
spawn_wait_ms=100
and with that, esd-aware and esd-unaware applications are able to
coexist just fine.
(if you go this route, esd will of course need to be restarted)

-c

Thanks for the pointer
Problem is that I have gnome sounds enabled. They do not recommend 
setting auto_spawn to 1 in that case. Because esd then will be fired up 
every time you hit a button or so.
