What the heck is yiff?

  $ apt-cache search yiff
  liby-dev - Y Sound Server Library Header Files
  liby2 - Y Sound Server Library
  yiff-config - Y Sound Server X11 Configuration
  yiff-server - Y Sound Server

Ah, ok.  You've gone and installed a sound server of some sort.  Have

If I were you I'd uninstall this yiff crap, and once you verify your
sound is working use esd as God intended.
