gnome and alsa and esound and xmms

Hello,

I am using gnome 2.4 and the last version of alsa.
When i do NOT run esound, i have no sound with gnome but xmms is working
fine.
When i run esound, gnome sounds are working fine but xmms freeze even with
the esound plugin.

Does anyone have an idea ?

Looks like XMMS is still trying to access the sound card directly (and
can't because esd is blocking it). Try to launch it from the command line
using "esddsp xmms &"

Can't explain why the esd plugin doesn't work. I'm using esound 0.2.28
under FluxBox and it works fine. Did you restart XMMS after changing the
output plugin? I found that helped when I used gnome.
