Hi all,
I've been playing the new game ut2004 on my Fedora ccrma box. This
game uses OpenAL for 3d sound which uses ALSA to route the audio through
my on-board Nforce2 sound module. It sounds very good, however sometimes
(not everytime) when I stop the game and check "ps aux" I notice esd is
running and I know it usually doesn't run so it must be starting for the
game. Should this be running at all since I'm using ALSA and OpenAL? If
not, should I just remove it? I'm not really clear about what function
esd actually serves.
TIA
