At my site it's called /etc/init.d/esound. Perhaps you'd someday removed it accidently ? > I've removed it from my USE flags, and un-emerged it, but now > I'm curious. That useflag (IMHO) only affects other applications which might be able to feed their audio to esd. So if you disable this useflag (and dont forget to rebuild ;-p), the app won't try to connect to esd anymore. So, if nobody uses esd, you can remove it. BTW: (OT) I'm currently writing an tiny and network agnostic (9P based) audio server which should be capable of being the only application interface (making app-internal driver layers obsolete) and optionally can support other protocols (eg. esound). If anyone's interested in it, just let me know :) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
