i noticed that esound was no longer spawning the esd daemon if it wasn't running. i haven't tracked down why yet, but it seems that debconf is always telling the esound-common postinst that i answered 'no' to the "Do you have sound hardware?" question. This sets auto_spawn=0 in /etc/esound/esd.conf. Changing this to a 1 makes esd spawn again. i don't know if this affects your problem (i use neither gnome nor E), but it's worth a shot. -- finger for GPG public key. 16 Nov 1999 - new key generated, please stop using the old.
