ALSA is the lowest-level user-space interface with sound cards in GNU/Linux. The drivers of sound cards implements ALSA interface. The sound servers exists to provide multiplexing, so that multiple applications can access your underlying sound devices. esd (or ESound) is the sound server which comes with earlier releases of GNOME, so I guess you're running GNOME. artsd is the sound server which is shipping with KDE < 3.6. xine and other audio/video backends have support for these sound servers. Tanveer> However if I select ALSA sound system in amarok(engine), xinelib cribs that Tanveer> it cannot initialize drivers. Since you're running esd, thats why no other application can open ALSA devices atm, which why xine responds negatively. Tanveer> So I am stuck with OSS or ESD. If you want to disable ESD, goto System->Preferences->Sound, and uncheck Enable Software Sound mixing (or something similar option). If you want to instantaneously do that, 'killall esd' :) ALSA[1] is an extremely flexible sound system. And its plugins[2] are awesome.
