However it does annoy me that if I load up, say, Doom, I have to remember to kill esd or Doom hangs. Also means that I can't have music and sound effects.
If esddsp still exists, try "esddsp dumb" or whatever you're using. Maybe even set your terminal to be esddsp'd if that's what you launch it from. I'm not sure why this hasn't troubled me recently. Are newer sound cards better at multichannel under alsa?
