It was, but I had to wait for the fix in both libaudiofile and then Esd, I seem 
to remember.  It all got fixed about 2 months ago =OZ  Certainly I had to 
recompile esd after I'd installed the new libaudiofile, and so fetched the 
latest CVS snap to do it, but that may not have been necessary.

Now my problem is that libesd gets a SIGPIPE right after the line that says it's 
installing a signal catcher to stop us getting SIGPIPEs. =O(  This has the 
unfortunate side-effect of killing Enlightenment when it tries to play a sound - 
usually the first to third sound it tries to play.  So I still have to run E 
with audio off.

Raster looked at it but seemed as baffled by it as me =OZ

One of the reasons a new sound deamon strikes me as a good idea, as long as it's 
backwards compatible ;O)
