send some sound to /dev/dsp (you can use mpg321 or any other command line player that uses OSS, or simply cat /vmlinuz>/dev/dsp) to see (and hear) if libraries are BEING preloaded and thus OSS->ESD redirection is working. The point is not only to have 'esdplayers' working, but to have libraries preloaded to have 'ossplayers' working and redirecting to ESD.
