Comment (by tante):
I am using Gentoo, pulseaudio version is:
media-sound/pulseaudio
Installed versions: 0.9.6-r1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ grep esound /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-esound-protocol-unix
#load-module module-esound-protocol-tcp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /usr/bin/esd -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-10-14 22:40 /usr/bin/esd ->
/usr/bin/esdcompat
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ grep esd /home/tante/.bashrc -b1
1621-# esound fix for pulseaudio
1649:if [ ! -e /tmp/.esd-${UID} ]; then
1684: ln -s /tmp/.esd /tmp/.esd-${UID}
1729-fi
So I think I did pretty much anything I have to do. Pulseaudio itself
works great, with gstreamer, alsa, xine but esd is problematic, I'm not
getting gnome sounds or anything else that is supposed to be played
through esd.
esdplay for example gives:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ esdplay /usr/share/sounds/info.wav
esdplay: pcm_params.c:2351: sndrv_pcm_hw_params: Assertion `err >= 0'
failed.
Aborted
mplayer (with esd output plugin) gives:
[AO ESD] esd_open_sound failed: No such file or directory
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Gentoo's esd (as you can see when you strace its start) is only looking
for /tmp/.esd/ but that shouldn't be the problem I guess.
stracing esdplay shows that it is interacting with pulseaudio, I uploaded
the strace [http://the-gay-bar.com/strace_esdplay.txt here]
