Thanks!... i've been working w/ for the same thing but failed (i was also trying NAS). Anyway, i used to use esddsp a long time ago, but i've kind of forgotten the in's and outs... if you use mplayer though, that has an esd output plugin. (or, AFAIK, anything written in SDL can use esd, so basically any game should be cool).
