Clean esound socket/socket directory when unable to start (1.04 KB, patch)

Description Frederic Crozat 2002-04-15 08:52:55 UTC 
I've just found a problem is esd when user can't open /dev/dsp (for
example, another user has rw permission on /dev/dsp) => esd doesn't
remove its socket and socket directory.. Therefore, if user with good
permissions on /dev/dsp tries to start esd, it will fail (socket already
exist and is owned by another user..)

Patch is attached to this bug. 

Can I commit ?

BTW, this bug impacts both GNOME 1 and GNOME 2
