Jeff,

What's the compile option? I've added some printf's and I'm sure
main_play_sound is not being called. But ldd shows:

some_shell$ ldd  `which evolution` | egrep -i "libgnome-2|esd"
        libgnome-2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgnome-2.so.0 (0x404ae000)
        libesd.so.0 => /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 (0x412a5000)

I've read the README and INSTALL and cannot find any documenation of
said compile option. I've also written a small app that calls
gnome_sound_play and it works, I just need esd running.

Also, are there plans on moving away from gnome_sound_play? How about
using sox's `play`?

        Luis
