hullo all,

i just upped from 4.2-release to 4.2-stable for the sake of the
ess maestro-3 sound driver in -stable. happy to report it's working
nicely on an hp pavilion n3330 laptop, at least for playing audio
cd's and mp3's and for realplayer in 'native drivers' mode.

unfortunately linux-realplay (from the port) doesn't seem to want
to run with the 'use ESound' option: it complains that it 'cannot
open the audio device. another application may be using it'. the
option describes itself as 'Linux only' but I find this hard to
believe: esd is esd is esd, yes?

wondering if anyone's encountered this and if there's a fix.

(PS. i also wanted to ask about some strange behavior I'm seeing
with the mouse pointer in XFree86 4.0, but as I'm on my way out
the door at the moment i'll save it for later... )

cheers,
	-mark
