Hi Kan,

I fixed this problem after three weeks of searching in Google... I hope
this solution also works well for you...

1. I'd installed the following alsa-packages:
alsaplayer-common
alsa-oss
gstreamer0.8-alsa
libpt-plugins-alsa
alsa-utils
libsdl1.2debian-alsa
alsaplayer-esd
alsaplayer-gtk
alsaplayer-alsa
gstreamer0.10-alsa
alsaplayer-oss
libesd-alsa0 <-- important!

2. After this I'd configure the alsa-package with the command alsaconf.
During this the alsa-package must identify your sound card (hopefully).

3. Create the file /etc/asound.conf with the following content:

pcm.card0 {
type hw
card 0
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1025
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 2048
buffer_size 32768
rate 48000
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}

4. Create this symlink:

ln -fs /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1

After doing these steps I was able to use the esd-server, icq (with
sounds) and an audio player at the same time...
