Is this while you're running gnome? For me, ESD runs and everything that wants to play something goes through ESD (ie: xmms outputs to ESD, not /dev/dsp). ESD is required with Gnome, so chances are if you're running Gnome, you're running ESD (otherwise you'd have a grossly long wait time for anything that is Gnome and uses sound to launch :). -Matt Bertrand PS - Scott.. don't know if it is me or not, but my mailserver wasn't able to get a MX record for your domain. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Scott D.
