That did it!!! Thank you very much! Actually Pierre suggested the same but with less copy and paste commands :) I had to set a different file: load-module module-esound-protocol-unix socket=/tmp/.esd-1000/socket Here you can find the output of the strace command: http://www.pastebin.ca/447035. Now I have another question, does pointing to .esd-1000 make sense?? 1000 ss my user id, what if this comp was a multiuser machine??
