Sound weirdness

[Moritz Heiber]

Hi David,

that sounds like something is blocking your /dev/dsp (Like a 
malfunctioning esd daemon f.e.). Make sure you're using an ALSA output 
plugin and kill the esd before starting any playback.

Regards,

Moritz

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:
