Same setup, but it seems to have corrected itself overnight. The
upgrade I performed downloaded some 40+ packages, so maybe it was
doing some behind-the-scenes organization for a little while.

Normally I would've. I've seen similar messages before, but since this
was a new install, I assumed a cause-and-effect relationship.

Ah, thanks. I wonder why my search for esd didn't turn this up. Oops,
now I know. I searched the package directories instead of the
contents. I must have been more tired than I thought. I've installed
the esound package and the abherrant behavior has ceased.

Thanks for the help!
