"woe is esd", rhyme ... "woe is me" ... tried to brighten this report up, campaign for bug reports in a comedy style ... or something. anyway, i'm using the gstreamer esd sink, and it locks up the whole gnome desktop if i press pause in rhythmbox, this is with the gnome system sounds turned on, i think, that as soon as another program tries to play a system sound through esd, it gets refused, and blocks, unpause rhythmbox and everything comes right.
Modified the esdsink to release its connection on pause. I can't see any other way to make esd process other clients happily. http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gstreamer/gst-plugins/ChangeLog.diff?r1=1.767&r2=1.768 http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gstreamer/gst-plugins/ext/esd/esdsink.c.diff?r1=1.39&r2=1.40 http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gstreamer/gst-plugins/ext/esd/esdsink.h.diff?r1=1.8&r2=1.9
