1 I'm using gnome, so Skype's docs[1] say:
2
3 "Be sure to run esd daemon using "esd -d /dev/dsp" because on some
4 distros (e.g. Gentoo) the esddsp wrapper checks for parameters present
5 to esd daemon and won't detect the daemon if there are no parameters."
6
7 Then start using:
8
9 *esddsp ./skype*
10
11 I've tried editing /etc/conf.d/esound to add in "-d /dev/dsp", but the
12 demon doesn't start. Has anybody worked through this?
