Debian Sarge.

Yes, I do have the libaudiofile0 and esound packages installed.
In the desktop preferences, I noticed that the option to 'Enable sound
server startup' was not ticked. I tried ticking it and my ears were
immediately assaulted with static. No amount of tweaking in the mixer
app seemed to make a difference. So it would seem that sound is not
happy as far as GNOME is concerned, despite xmms and web browser audio
working fine. I wouldn't have thought that the command-line cdplayer
would use esound though.
Thanks
