Well, if remote sound and software mixing is not important to you, you can turn it off. But it's not going to happen upstream, until we have another cross-platform solution. esound is simple, and it works, which is why no one has managed to replace it yet. Don't listen to the ill-informed anti-esound people; they generally don't understand the use cases. > Tho I imagine the choice could be removed in order to make things be > simpler in Gnome philosophy. No, that doesn't make a lot of sense, nor reflects a "GNOME philosophy". - Jeff -- What's all that about? http://www.no-name-yet.com/ "Instead you're doing circle jerks with the Care Bears of Censorship." - Siduri on Slashdot -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
