Hello, if i disable ESD, aplay and other aplications begin to sound, but then Gnome events doesn't sound. I am sure than i had ESD activated and other aplications could sound in previous Debian Lenny/Sid development state, in addiction i have comfirmed that in others distributions (for example Ubuntu 7.10), i have activated ESD and both Gnome events and other aplications sound without problems, because this, i think that there is a bug in Debian. I have right now updated Debian Sid with Gnome 2.20 and the problem continues. Thanks for your atention.
