Is the esddsp wrapper part of esound? I have esd installed I don't seem to have esddsp available on my system (Ubuntu Dapper). I found the entry in bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312665 It seems they left the patch alone. :-( I hope the patch works against our esd version without too much trouble. About polypaudio as far as I know its unmaintained. Besides that it would probably be quite some work to switch our thinclients of using esd to polyp. In any case thanks for you response. I have regained a little hope now that we might be able to fix it.
