problem with sound (esound) since a few days
Though I didn't change anything on purpose; just the usual upgrades, I
lost my sound a few days ago.
Only today is the time to check it:
esd doesn't start any longer (it always did):
$ esd &
[1] 28425
$ /dev/dsp: No such device
Esound is and remains installed:
# apt-get install esound
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
esound is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Quite a few modules are loaded:

Finally, the lspci -v gives me:
0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller:

Any help ?
