[plug] Alsa, esd, quake and xmms

[John Knight]

Oh don't worry, it's much better, and yes, you can have it access two things 
simultaneously, and a lot better than OSS does. Have you been to the site 
and grabbed the source of the newest ones, or are you using .deb/.rpms? It's 
good to grab just about everything on the site if you haven't already done 
so, all of the library and oss emulation packages, etc. I don't think I've 
had quake 3 use esd before, I've heard ppl refer to esd as only good for 
making the occasional 'bloop' sound, but that could be wrong. :)
