<br>
According to the description of the debian pulseaudio package:<br>
<br>
"PulseAudio... is a drop in replacement for the ESD sound server with<br>
much better latency, mixing/re-sampling quality and overall<br>
architecture."<br>
<br>
And in Debian there's a pulseaudio-esound-compat package.<br>
<br>
Maybe you should try installing PulseAudio to replace as much ESD/esound<br>
stuff as possible.<br>
<br>
I'm only going down this track, because while googling to get an idea<br>
about the problem you've got, one person seemed to solve the problem by<br>
installing an ALSA-esd package as I previously suggested.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I'm not at all familiar with Suse.<br>
