Description Richard Hult 2004-09-16 12:44:56 UTC 
Recently, I've been seeing a problem with esdsink, that could be a bug in esd,
but since it has not changed in long time, and gstreamer has, it might be bug in
gstreamer. Feel free to close this if you disagree (feel free to suggest a
solution other than using another sink...).

The problem I'm seeing is when setting up a pipeline with esdsink, and playing a
song, then when it's EOS:ed, unreffing the old pipeline, setting up a new one,
and start playing the next song. I then sometimes (fairly often) get this:

ERROR (0x10018978 - 304260:25:00.906121000)             esd(10239)
esdsink.c(435):gst_esdsink_open_audio:<esdsink0> can't open connection to esound
server
Comment 1 Richard Hult 2004-09-18 18:08:13 UTC 
The problem seems to be due to the daemon being shutdown and restarted every
time the pipeline stops/starts. It works a lot better if esd is manually
launched or a connection opened to it with code. This probably only shows even
more how broken esound is though.

Closing as NOTABUG. Please reopen if it's an issue for you.. (From what i've
undestood it's a esd/setup problem, not esdsink's one).
