Re: esd eats 25% cpu?

["Yo 'Ric Dude" <ericmit ix netcom com>]

For the record, my SB 32 AWE PNP does not exhibit this problem.

If you could reconfigure esound with the --enable-debugging option,
run "esd -vt", and see if it's stuck in a loop somewhere.  If so, 
post the repeating section, and I'll see if i can find anything 
suspicious going on.  For bonus points, instrument your code with
some debugging printf's (or use the ESDBG_TRACE macro), and track
down which condition is keeping it from pausing properly.
