Hi all, I have an oldish Dell Pentium II machine with onboard Crystal CS4232 audio and a "standard" installation of Mandrake 8.1. The audio works just fine using the standard OSS drivers and software like 'mpg123' or 'xmms'.
Just for kicks I thought I'd try using 'esd', since I noticed 'xmms' had an 'esd' output plugin. So I ran up 'esd -tcp' (Unix socket thing didn't work for me at all) and pointed 'xmms' at it. Unfortunately all it will do (apart from the very nice test tones at startup) is make horrible noises at me that I find difficult to explain. Almost like it was trying to play mangled binary garbage. I'd appreciate any pointers and/or commiserations anyone might have (and Carsten, this is all your fault... :) Thanks, Adrian Close email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 Old Gippsland Rd. web: http://www.close.wattle.id.au/~adrian Lilydale, VIC, 3140, Australia mobile: +61 412 385 201 Echelon teaser: MD5 RX-7 SSL Kiwi TRD DEADBEEF Bubba
