If you change 'auto_spawn=0' to 'auto_spawn=1' in /etc/esound/esd.conf, esd *should* be automagically started whenever an application wants to use it, without modification of your session startup files. (I haven't tested it, so I don't know if it works.)
This worked. Thanks!
This didn't work. Same problem: gaim makes sounds only when xmms is not playing. Do I need to install anything new? I have:If you set LD_PRELOAD to load /usr/lib/libesddsp.so and /usr/lib/libesd.so before running an app that uses /dev/dsp but that dosen't know about ESD, you can make the program send its output through ESD. You could use a wrapper script like this: -- cut -- #!/bin/sh LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libesddsp.so:/usr/lib/libesd.so exec /path/to/some/program $* -- cut --
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libesd*lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 5 22:32 /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 -> libesd.so.0.2.23 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27800 Dec 28 20:06 /usr/lib/libesd.so.0.2.23 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 5 22:32 /usr/lib/libesddsp.so.0 -> libesddsp.so.0.2.23 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9504 Dec 28 20:06 /usr/lib/libesddsp.so.0.2.23
I modified the paths in LD_PRELOAD to reflect the zeroes at the ends of the filenames, but that didn't work either.
