esddsp and other stuff



Hi all,
I found that esound doesn't really like the sound drivers from 4-front
using my soundblaster on my Alpha so I switched to the kernel drivers and
it works great. A couple things. I have esd running good and I get
sound from both E and Gnome. Searching  through the  mailing lists I found
that to play sound while esd is runnign you have to do esddsp <app> so it
can access /dev/dsp. This doesn't work right. When I try it  mpg123 I get
a broken pipe and if I use the esdsp thing with X11amp it starts up and
plays but no sound comes out. Another thing with X11amp, if I compile in
esd support it doesn't work at all and dies at startup. Any ideas? Thanks.

Peter
