I remember some body complining about this about a week ago. Well, now I
have the problem too.
I traced it back to a switch used by gnome when it spawns the esd
server.
If you use the "-tcp" instead of the default "-unix" you will hear the
cracks and pops, actually in my machine it skips and distorts mp3.
Anyway I don't see a reason to use "-tcp" unless you want to serve audio
services to other machines over the network. But that does not say there
is no problem; it should work fine with the "-tcp" switch.
Anyone knows anything more about this.
