sorry it wasnt intended to be at you - it was intended for those
thinkign esd hogs the device and you have to completely disable esd and
give up and use the audio device directly.

i'm just too used to the "my audio app doesnt work" comment/post/mail
where the person didn't even try out the facilities provided. Esd's
principles and design are correct. the implimentation still needs work.

fwiw I run "esddsp x11amp" and it works quite well no crackles not
problems. E's sampoles if i ever turn audio on work fine as long as esd
is playing a steram of audio already - if by themselves esd is having a
problem currently mixing them in well. It's an issue that needs to be
addressed.
