[ale] Sound in RH9

[Kevin Krumwiede]

I'm having major problems with sound in RH9.  ESD is running, but programs can't use it.  XMMS only works with the OSS output module, and this prevents any other application from using the sound card.  If an app attempts to play a sound through ESD, it locks up.  This includes XMMS, GAIM, and the Gnome panels.  When the panels lock up, even ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't fix things becase Gnome won't restart as the current user.  I have to reboot.

I have AC97 onboard sound.  Works in Winbloze.

Any ideas?
