Re: [Evolution] Evolution hangs reading from esd socket

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj novell com>]

you should probably submit this to bugzilla.gnome.org, under the
libgnome module. (evolution just calls gnome_sound_play(), it doesn't do
any communication with esd itself).

I would imagine other gnome apps have the same problem.
