Re: Sound does not work with User other than root

[Tim Lewis <tlewis timelinevista com>]

Chris,
While logged in as root, type:

esdctl unlock

This will free you to use esd as any user.  It does have security
implications, but I don't think they are worrisome if used on a
standalone machine ( i.e. not on a corporate network).
