Or as I found there are alternatives here, try launching firefox with artsdsp firefox, or alternatively aoss firefox. This will play all sound through a muxer and will allow it to play nice even on machines without hardware mixing. So to recap, you don't need esd anymore, just working OSS (ALSA provides OSS compatibility). If you are having trouble with it playing while other things are playing sound try using aoss or artsdsp to mux the sounds for you (or esd if you like). -- Zac Slade [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:1415282 YM:krakrjak AIM:ttyp99 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
