Didn't use to be the case, went googling and found that it no longer requires |
| 4 |
esd it just uses OSS. |

Or as I found there are alternatives here, try launching firefox with artsdsp |
| 9 |
firefox, or alternatively aoss firefox. This will play all sound through a |
| 10 |
muxer and will allow it to play nice even on machines without hardware |
| 11 |
mixing. |

So to recap, you don't need esd anymore, just working OSS (ALSA provides OSS |
| 14 |
compatibility). If you are having trouble with it playing while other things |
| 15 |
are playing sound try using aoss or artsdsp to mux the sounds for you (or esd |
| 16 |
if you like). |
