Hmm... Well there has been a version increment in esd. I can try a rebuild
and see what happens here.

The change in speed was likely a result of the fact that the sound card
wasn't being activated.

Part of the problem is the large number of apps that expect the OSS hooks.
I do agree that the ALSA drivers are superior, even to the commercial OSS
drivers for my YMF-724D card, but this is one of those cases wher having to
maintain compatibility is biting us in the keister.

I would if I didn't have to deal with interoperability problems :/
