I just started esd with the command 'esd -as 2', which releases the
audio device 2 seconds after any sound st
Esound grabs /dev/dsp to manage it, so you can hear sounds fromdifferent apps concurrently. For example, hear warning or alert sounds
while playing mp3s or videos.On sarge, for ogg123, you'll need to put this in /etc/libao.conf or~/.libao:default_driver=esdThat works for me. See man libao.conf .

If you use ALSA and esound then you should install libesd-alsa0 instead
of libesd0.

Esound appears to be broken on systems running later 2.4.0 kernels.
Same thing happens on my SB128Pci. Unfortunatly since It's more or
less unmaintained my solution is gonna have to be buy a SB Live if
you want multiplexing.

Hi,
FYI - I fixed it! In case anyone else ever gets into this
boat, do a "make uninstall" in the (tarball) 0.2.8 directory, then
"dpkg -r --force-depends esound". Then re-install the esound
deb package, and things will work again.
Whew,

Have you tried adding yourself to the "audio" group? It might work even
though you have no sound device.
