I had this trouble - solved it by grabbing the source, and compiling with
esd support enabled - that way it doesn't need esddsp. Hence I don't think
it's omething worth fixing re esddsp...
Perhaps it should be compiled by default with esd support? Or does debian
not want to "force" people to install esd to use sound software?
