Re: Problems with gnopernicus and ubuntu

Hello all,

I've sent  some replies on messages on this list, but now I see that these 
replies went to the senders  directly and not to the list. This  was not my 
intention and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Below is the message that I 
sent to Luke:

I'm using alsa and I thought that alsa supported multi-channel sound? 
Anyway, how can I turn the esd daemon off?
