 Hi Bill,
 	I haven't found much decent documentation on esd or even E. For
licq, under Options -> OnEvent i have the command set to esdplay. This
is esd's version of the play command. If you want your programs to have
unfettered access to /dev/dsp, just start them with esddsp. Eg: in my
menu for netscape (in E) i have "Netscape" NULL exec "esddsp netscape".

HTH
