I use esound with esound-enabled applications (mpg123), and arts KDE apps (amarok in particular). For some reason, the esd output option in the KDE control panel does not work (I'll get the error message when I go back home). Also I _think_ I am using akode, but I do not even know how to tell it is enabled. I'm on amd64, so I had to install gstreamer-0.10.4 manually to get amarok to compile (it works flawlessly, just not with esd).
My question: does anyone here have a setup in which they use a diverse selection of audio applications which all end up sending their output through the same daemon? Not only do I enjoy having the ability to "multiplex" audio streams, but given that I use auich(4) and its sample rate is locked to 48000khz, I have to use an output daemon to resample streams with different bit rates. I notice esddsp is not included in the esound port, and I assume this is because OpenBSD's audio interface is not compatable with it (could it somehow be made to work with OSS emulation?). I'm using amd64, FWIW. Thanks, --Blair -- "What is the practical application of a million galaxies?" --Alan W. Watts
