Description Aaron Schumacher 2002-07-15 20:11:19 UTC 
esd is started by gnome-session as "esd -nobeeps"

I would like to change this, so that it starts as, for example, "esd
-nobeeps -as 2" or even "esd -port 9283 -unix -public" or some other thing.

As far as I can tell, the only way to do this now is to edit gsm-sound.c
and recompile... would it be possible to make the options passed to esd a
gconf-ed option (or something)?
Comment 1 Elliot Lee 2002-07-21 20:48:11 UTC 
You can use /etc/esd.conf to configure this (although this only works
if you are not having gnome spawn esd and are using auto-spawning
instead). The proper fix is probably to have gsm read /etc/esd.conf
for spawning purposes.
Comment 2 Lucas Rocha 2008-04-08 23:01:31 UTC 
gnome-settings-daemon is now responsible for spawning esd. Re-assigning.
Comment 3 Jens Granseuer 2008-04-09 16:18:11 UTC 
Since esd is being replaced by pulseaudio, I guess this would have to be a bit more generic.
Comment 4 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-10-31 05:55:43 UTC 
Still relevant?  Do we even need any configurability for pulseaudio?
Comment 5 Jens Granseuer 2008-10-31 17:44:25 UTC 
We don't even start a sound server anymore.
