I agree that PulseAudio is quite nice, I use it on my amd64 system. It has some GTK gui config tools which are nice, but I feel like they would need to be a little simpler if they were going to be included in Gnome. It's pretty powerful and flexible from what I've seen. That part aside... I would

Hi, is a sound server such as esd or pulseaudio still needed at all? As far as I understand, ALSA allows access from multiple applications. It supports hardware mixing and provides dmix as a fallback on systems where hardware mixing is not available. For the casual user, this should be sufficient

Last time I tried PulseAudio (over a year ago) it hogged the sound device and did not let any other ALSA client produce sound. Can someone confirm the bug is still there? Just (e.g.) play some music with PulseAudio and then start an ALSA client, check that mixing is being done. If the bug

the esound API to simply pipe the sound into gstreamer? Is that possible? Pulseaudio isn't a GStreamer contender. In fact, it exists a pulsesink component for gstreamer, very much like there exist a alsasink, an osssink, a esdsink... If I understand correctly, you'd like to have esound be a wrapper

Just an fyi, but In embedded systems running Gtk+, you don't want to have to spend the time to initialize/start up Gstreamer just to play bling. The time lag is far too great. You limit Gstreamer use to items like movie and music playback - not system pings. But on systems that will want

If you want to avoid delay when playing a beep, then all apps will have to initialize GStreamer and precache an audio sample. Startup time and memory costs pile up. It's much better to have a simple sound server (which can use GStreamer) and a simple client API; a full fledged
