Sound weirdness

[Nick Hudson]

Did you compile alsa-driver for your specific sound card?  What kind of
sound card do you have?  Did you make sure that the sounds module is
loaded in the kernel?  Are you 100% sure that you unmuted all the
correct channels in your alsamixer?

I've also tried playing a wave file in Gnome Sound Recorder but I get an error about /dev/dsp being busy.  When I exit Xwindows I see that esd has generated some errors:
