When I first installed cooker, I did get some sound
with gnome. After logging out and back in, I don't.

Before I start the gnome session, 

        [jean@rocks jean]$ cat .gnome/sound/system 

        [settings]
        start_esd=true
        event_sounds=true

But as soon as gnome starts

        [jean@rocks jean]$ cat .gnome/sound/system 

        [settings]
        start_esd=false
        event_sounds=false


Sound *is* supported in the kernel

        [root@rocks jean]# lsmod
        Module                  Size  Used by
        vfat                   11232   0  (autoclean) (unused)
        fat                    33408   0  (autoclean) [vfat]
        autofs                  9776   2  (autoclean)

        es1370                 26256   1
        soundcore               4432   4  [es1370]
        supermount             15344   4  (autoclean)
        ide-floppy             10448   0
        aic7xxx               133176   7

and permissions are set properly

        [root@rocks /dev]# ls -ld dsp audio0 mixer
        crw-------    1 jean     audio     14,   4 Aug 23 01:37 audio0
        crw-------    1 jean     audio     14,   3 Aug 23 01:37 dsp
        crw-------    1 jean     audio     14,   0 Aug 23 01:37 mixer

When gnome starts, it does start esd

        [jean@rocks jean]$ ps ax | grep esd
         3843 ?        S      0:00 esd -nobeeps -as 30
         3932 pts/0    S      0:00 grep esd

and I am able to start kmix but not gmix (No mixers found. Make sure
you have sound support compiled into the kernel.)

Esd does not seem to work, although the process is there. Xmms is not
working with the esound output plugin. Xmms does work with the oss
output plugin and when I do so, kmix is perfectly capable of adjusting
the volume.

I tried to kill and start esd by hand with various options but without
success.

User root has the exact same problem (confirming this is not a permission
problem).

I'm using gnome-media-1.2.0-11mdk and esound-0.2.19-6mdk on the smp kernel
kernel-smp-2.2.17-12mdk. Xmms is xmms-1.2.3-1mdk with xmms-esd-1.2.3-1mdk.

The sound module reports the following at boot time

        es1370: version v0.31 time 11:43:04 Sep 23 2000
        es1370: found adapter at io 0xa400 irq 10
        es1370: features: joystick off, line in, mic impedance 0


Note that kde also gives no sound since the first boot after the install.
