I noticed that too. I only have esd running on the sound card, but it
seems to do this with/without esd on /dev/dsp. Anyway, here is:
cat /proc/interupts
-------------
CPU0
0: 5059285 XT-PIC timer
1: 46017 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 1320764 XT-PIC serial
5: 34087419 XT-PIC soundblaster
11: 187 XT-PIC eth0
12: 1547997 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 XT-PIC fpu
14: 834840 XT-PIC ide0
15: 10788 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
-------
killall esd
-------
cat /proc/interupts
-------------
CPU0
0: 5060624 XT-PIC timer
1: 46051 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 1320769 XT-PIC serial
5: 34093966 XT-PIC soundblaster
11: 187 XT-PIC eth0
12: 1548207 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 XT-PIC fpu
14: 834860 XT-PIC ide0
15: 10788 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
and here is
cat /proc/sound:
[mastersj@periscope mastersj]$ cat /proc/sound
OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130
Load type: Driver loaded as a module
Kernel: Linux periscope 2.2.11 #22 SMP Thu Aug 12 03:00:17 BST 1999 i686
Config options: 0
Installed drivers:
Card config:
Audio devices:
0: Sound Blaster 16 (4.16) (DUPLEX)
Synth devices:

Midi devices:
0: Sound Blaster 16
1: AWE Midi Emu
Timers:
0: System clock
Mixers:
0: Sound Blaster
So esd makes no difference.
HOPE this helps.
