Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34818
Comment: After testing a Flight 5 live cd (i386), simply lowering the -as parameter in /etc/esound/esd.conf will alleviate the symptom of the device being blocked when esd is used. Just checking the default Ubuntu gstreamer-properties configuration reveals that the default audio sink is set to "autodetect". Without dropping esd support completely, the culprit actually seems to be that default_options is not set in /etc/esound/esd.conf. Try changing default_options to "-terminate -nobeeps -as 2" (spawn_options doesn't need to be set then according to the semantics quoted by default_options). -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
