I don't know if that's the version you are using, but that could be part of the problem. I'm pretty sure I had mpd playing through esd at one point. let's see. add a group, _esd. add myself and _mpd to that group. start esd as myself, chgrp _esd ~/.esd_auth, chmod g+rw ~/.esd_auth. echo "default_driver=esd" > /etc/libao.conf. sudo mpd. starts fine, but oh, no workie. ok, make /var/esd. make that _mpd's home, and link from there an .esd_auth to my .esd_auth. that seems to work. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
