I dont't know. It seem related to when the window manager is restarted, the esd process simply dies.
I have the old e16 wm. Maybe it's the Entrance login manager that, thinking of it, as been updated at about the same time this trouble started. To my knowledge, Entrance does not use sounds. Or does it? _________________ (7 of 9) Installing star-trek/species-8.4.7.2::talax. |

I use Entrance and had a peek at the code a while back. No sound in there as far as I'm aware. Maybe E16 shuts down esd when it exists? It is the Enlightened Sound Daemon, after all, though I'm not 100% sure if they're related? |

Well, they are related in terms of who wrote it, but the Esound deamon is wm neutral (Gnome use it too) and it's a system wide software sound mixer (even works through networks).
I'm just a bit lazy (or time pressed) to diagnose this, especially since esd zap & esd restart brings it back. I have tones of annoyances of likes on my box, it's not one more that bothers me that much. It's just another thing on the todo list. _________________ (7 of 9) Installing star-trek/species-8.4.7.2::talax. |

I seem to have a similar problem (more wide-reaching than just the audio devices though)
People have been saying that permisions are being phased out...
I think the solution is to move (backup) the old /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
Then replace it with the new one (it is in the same folder, just hidden)
This fixes all my problems!
