Hey Samuel,

Somehow I missed seeing this message of yours:

that's disappointing to me because I reaaaally want to get mpd to
route through esd, but if I change my config file from

audio_output {
       type                    "ao"
       name                    "Libao Audio Device"
}

to
audio_output {
        type                    "ao"
        driver                 "esd"
        name                    "esd"
}

I get `"esd" is not a valid ao driver at line 112`

I also tried
$ cat /etc/libao.conf
default_driver=esd

but it doesn't run esd. So did you get it working? And if so: how?
