Re: Orca edgy and sound issue

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Cody:

The unfortunate thing is this:

   Sound on Linux == problematic, troublesome, failure prone

Furthermore, the result of this equality is that it seems to regularly
break whenever one does an upgrade.  :-(

In the recent past, I've found that leaving the Enlightenment Sound
Daemon (ESD) disabled seems to solve the problem.  At other times, I've
needed to reinstall the audio support or grab/build/install other audio
drivers.  It's never been a pleasant or predictable experience.
