Description William Jon McCann 2008-10-24 20:03:22 UTC 
The sound plugin:
 * has ugly code
 * uses gnome_program
 * slows down session start
 * may be irrelevant in the "new sound way"

I asked Lennart about it and he thinks that we can drop it unless people need legacy esd support.  At the very least we can turn it off when esd support is not needed.

I'm fine with removing it for 2.26 and replacing it with bug 545386 (reusing the same plugin name).

        Remove ESD-based sound plugin (bug #557806). This means that g-s-d
        will no longer start a sound server (esd or PulseAudio) at session
        startup. This should be handled using the autostart mechanism of
        gnome-session instead.
