[Gllug] Fedora Core 4 sound - just an observation

[Nix]

auto_spawn is death on effective sound; you really want an antiniced esd
or one forced into one of the realtime priority classes, and neither of
these aer possible unless ESD is a system-started persistent daemon.
With auto_spawn, it is not.

It made it worse for me... :/
