I regularly help users to find out why their sound has stopped working,
and the cause is usually due to libesd0's esd holding the sound card
open. Replacing libesd0 with libesd-alsa0 and killing esd makes
everything work again.
libesd-alsa0 works perfectly for me and I wish we installed it by
default. We would then be able to enable the 'enable software sound
mixing (ESD)' setting by default so that event sounds in apps like gossip
would work.
