I have sound under Gnome (and KDE 2 too) but I still get the "Unable to bind
port 16001" message. The curious thing about my Gnome setup? I get ESD
(the Enlightenment Sound Daemon?) to run as root, but not as a regular user.
Thus as user "penguin" I don't have any of those funky Gnome event
sounds.

How can I tie down this mysterious port 16001?
