esound

[Matthew Carpenter]

All I know is I had it installed for some reason on a machine I built Everybuddy on and it grabbed onto it.  It wouldn't install on any other machine without it being installed.  So I looked into what it was.  I don't see any esd running in the background so I'm not sure exactly what it's doing.  Speaking of which, is there a device file created for aRtsd?  How might I use it in place of /dev/dsp?
