Hi Thomas, I tried using pulse output plugin but no luck. Here is what I get:
u...@debian:~$ killall xmms2d u...@debian:~$ xmms2d -o pulse INFO: ../src/xmms/log.c:36: Initialized logging system :) INFO: ../src/xmms/ipc.c:950: IPC listening on 'unix:///tmp/xmms-ipc-user'.

I get lots of error messages as soon as I tell xmms2d to use libao plugin. u...@debian:~$ killall xmms2d u...@debian:~$ xmms2d -o ao INFO: ../src/xmms/log.c:36: Initialized logging system :) INFO: ../src/xmms/ipc.c:950: IPC listening on 'unix:///tmp/xmms-ipc-user'.

Also I tried to look for some documentation which can explain to how to configure libao to use esd but I was not able to. Can you point me to it please?
