About ESD, well I read somewhere that is deprecated and if it continue here is only for compatibility isues. ALSA support more sound cards and also is besta managed by the laste kernel versions. Actually I tried to install alsa in my machine. I recomend it, because ESD has some problems and now is dead.
In order to kill ESD daemon you can do this (As root): killall esd 2007/1/8, David Relson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I've disabled "ESD" because sound effects don't generally interest me. What does interest me is listening to CDs, web radio, etc. Anyhow, I've got CDPlayer playing Alice's Restaurant and am enjoying hearing it again (after numerous years).
