It is a shame that libesd0 is instaled by default instead of libesd-alsa0
but AFAIK it's too late in the release cycle to do anything about it. :(
I think the best way would be to change the shlibs information for
libesd0 so that packages that use it end up depending on "libesd-alsa0 |
libesd0". However that would require a rebuild of all depending packages.
Perhaps the installer could be hacked to install libesd-alsa0 by default
or something. It would be great if we didn't have to go through _another_
release where users will have to put up with programs hogging their sound
cards, especially since alsa-lib now has software mixing configured by
default.
