I cannot prove that. Its sound quality is much better than the one of
ALSA direct. (Well esd on top of OSS. It is not that good than with OSS
direct but it is ok.)

I just see that issues when using ALSA. So please drop ALSA and not ESD.

That might be. But that's a problem of many gnome applications.

There are other needs.
- - The sound hardware do only support one bitrate and you need something
between to scale the bitrate.
- - You want to have sound mixing and do not want to use ARTS (Which is
mud).

My experience is complete opposite. ALSA is that kind of buggy. If you
move the mouse while using sound on ALSA you hear cracks and sound
disorders. Also they halfly translate the config files!!! And then I was
not able to use it long time as it makes my systems complete instable
and it ops all time. (Tested on kernel 2.4.*, 2.6.* and also with debian
kernels or vanilla. And on all distros, Stable, Unstable or testing.)
So please stop removing stuff, which is much better than the stuff which
is recommended.
