It's important to note, however, that jackd was not intended to be a general, all-purpose audio server. > Call me radical, but I thought it would be really good if all my apps > which make sounds could...well, make sounds, without interfering > with/blocking eachother.

Anyway, jackd running should not prevent esd from sending sound to the soundcard via ALSA. If it is, there's an issue to be resolved. However, if you are running jackd because you do pro-audio stuff, you want to get rid of esd and aRts if you can, because they increase latencies. > There doesn't seem to be much on the net about jack, perhaps it's too > young yet? There's lots about JACK on the net; you simply have to poke around.
