I use ESD myself, but I won't say it's nice. You can't change the volume
through it, you must rebuild everything that uses the sound card to use
it (well, esddsp *can* kludge you around it sometimes, but my God it's
a kludge) and it has major latency problems.

ALSA is where the future is, I guess.

I've got an Emacs X client here. (it's only a partial Xlib
reimplementation though; finishing it off is on my list. Not my idea,
Noah Friedman has done one too.) :)
