>Description:
I updated Windowmaker and decided to recompile wsoundserver. During use,
wsoundserver would play one sound file and then crash on the next
window event. Starting wsoundserver from an xterm showed the error in
esound. The INSTALL file from the distribution indicates that esound
support is not yet reliable and this proved to be the case with me even
though I updated esound and recompiled.

The make file contains:

.if defined(HAVE_ESOUND)
USE_ESOUND=	yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-esd
.endif

but for some reason defaulted to using esound even though
I did not define HAVE_ESOUND.
HAVE_ESOUND.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile and use wsoundserver.
>Fix:
I commented out the whole esound if-endif section in the make
file and recompiled wsoundserver. It compiled without esound
support and now works. IMHO, since the esound support in wsoundserver
is admittedly a risk, it should only be compiled in with a
positive response from the user; the Makefile should be changed
to reflect that.
