I ignore these. I see lots of similar messages from a lot of
GTK/GNOME apps. They are just warnings, but the app probably ought to
check the condition first so you don't get the warning.

Yes "Enlightened Sound Daemon". I don't have a sound card in this
box, but I used to have one and it could only play 1 sound at a time.
So if I had WinAmp going, and I was working on a presentation in
PowerPoint, I wouldn't notice that ppt had a default sound to go with
the animation. I found out when I started the presentation in class
(true story!). When you use ESD, it controls the sound card (/dev/dsp
usually, I think). Then apps that want to play a sound request it
from esd, and esd mixes all the wavs together so that your sound card
plays all of them. Reallly cool! I guess you don't have it
installed. Try the search on file names in packages.
