If the problem is that esd is hanging on to the OSS devices and not letting other applications write to them, that's easily fixed without requiring you to just not run esd. You just need to tell esd to get out of the way of other programs when it's done with a particular sound. When I run esd, I do it this way: in my /etc/esound/esd.conf, I have: [esd] auto_spawn=1 spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2 spawn_wait_ms=100 The meaning of all that is explained in the man page for esd, which I suggest looking at. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
