Below I've attached a complete copy of an strace of esd -nobeeps (generated
today), and it's not using TCP sockets.  It's using UNIX sockets, so I don't
think this is the problem.  That previous strace was probably from esdplay,
because it looks like it tries to connect via TCP sockets before opening
/dev/dsp directly.  I can send you an strace of that if you'd like.

Then surely there are things I can look at to debug this problem.  (Like what
could have changed?  What does an strace of esd look like on a system that
does work?  etc.)  Something explicit must have changed on my system, and I
don't know what all to look at.  And I don't have a working system to compare
to.  It makes me want to punch a hole through my monitor because things were
working fine.  Then I upgraded Gnome and things broke.  Nothing else on my
system changed.  It bugs me to no end that I can't figure this out.  I know
I'm not the only one to have this problem, because I've received e-mail from
several people who have run into the same thing.  They updated via RPM, I
compiled source.

Thanks,
Dan
