It is a shame that libesd0 is instaled by default instead of libesd-alsa0 but AFAIK it's too late in the release cycle to do anything about it. :( I think the best way would be to change the shlibs information for libesd0 so that packages that use it end up depending on "libesd-alsa0 | libesd0". However that would require a rebuild of all depending packages. Perhaps the installer could be hacked to install libesd-alsa0 by default or something. It would be great if we didn't have to go through _another_ release where users will have to put up with programs hogging their sound cards, especially since alsa-lib now has software mixing configured by default. -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
