OPL3-SA Sound Card

["Raymond S. Swaim" <rswaim austin rr com>]

As the subject states, I have a Yamaha OPL3-SA sound card.  I'm having a few 
small difficulties with stuttering sound.  For instance, if I enable the 
gnome desktop sounds, instead of getting one bell ring, I'll get about 5 or 
6.  I have the same problem if I run only Enlightenment or Sawfish.  However, 
in KDE, I experience no problems at all.

What controls sound in Gnome?  Is it Esound?  I have no problems playing 
MP3s, CDs, or anything else.  However, I *have* noticed that if I use XMMS 
and select the ESound driver instead of OSS, I experience similar problems, 
so this is what leads me to believe it may be Esound causing the problem. 

Is the proper place to report a problem with Esound?  If not, could someone 
point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
