sound wierdness



I have a wierd sound problem: sound works from some apps but not from others.

I have all the basics: lsmod shows my sound modules are loaded (emu10k1 for SB Live! 5.1), I am a member of audio and cdrom, and cat endoftheworld > /dev/dsp plays the music.

freeamp also plays ogg and mp3 files nicely. But gcd and gtcd don't produce any sound, although they look like they are playing CDs (and get the correct info from CDDB). vumeter registers nothing, even when freeamp is playing loudly.

Does anyone have a suggestion? Is this some esd wierdness? (Yes, esd is running, and even produces a nice set of beeps when I start it without -nobeeps. But killing it off doesn't seem to make a difference.)
