Here is the actual output I get when I attempt to run esd with the alsa support instead of oss...

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:776:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy Sound device inadequate for Esound. Fatal. Again is this being seen with the other sound drivers for esound 0.2.26 or is it a snd-powermac specific issue? Thanks for any feedback.
