Hi,

I've found that /bin/esdplay is reporting "/dev/dsp: Device or recource busy"
and after repeatedly trying, if it can't use the resource, esd bottoms out.
So I removed the esdplay call in /etc/rc.sound (line 68)

#if [ -x /bin/esdplay ]; then
#   /bin/esdplay /etc/silent.wav &
#fi

Now esd stays loaded everytime and sound works.
Why is "/bin/esdplay /etc/silent.wav &" included in rc.sound?

Thanks.
Chris.
