This is a wild suggestion and I have not tried it, but just thought it might work, 'fuser -k /dev/dsp' If I am not wrong ESD uses /dev/dsp and the '-k' option to 'fuser' should kill the process. And since the event.d script is run from root, this should kill the process as you wanted. good luck and have fun, yhgian
