(great) But gnome > sounds have now gone (guess i can live without them) I think that iceweasel should recognize a running esd and configure itself accordingly. You could try to set ICEWEASEL_DSP="esddsp" explicitly. I seem to remember that someone already suggested that; did you test it? >> The output of >> >> lsof -w | egrep 'snd|dsp' >> >> might be helpful, too. >> >> > Output= mixer_app 9441 19u CHR 116,0 15222 /dev/controlC0 I am not sure what this "Output= mixer_app" is supposed to mean; it looks like this is only the last bit of the command which started this process. You could try to grep for the PID ps -ef | grep [9]441 to find out more, or you could simply "kill 9441" and check if that allows iceweasel and esd to coexist. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
