I think esound is the "elightened sound daemon", esd, which provides
sound mixing services, basically. I suppose if esd is running, other
apps can't bind directly to /dev/dsp but have to go through esd.
my box doesn't have sound working at the moment, so I'm just remembering
this stuff, I may be up the creek.
