Hi, I want to know how Gnome launch ESD daemon when I enabled sound server startup in Sound preference. In fact, I generated ~/.esd.conf file to use TCP port instead of UNIX socket. But it seems that gnome still launch the socket first; I get 2 processes for ESD (here I assume uername is test_user) after normal session login: 1. test_user /usr/bin/esd -nobeeps It's a socket daemon. It wrote socket to /tmp/.esd/socket. It seems all the sound sent to this socket first whatever one use TCP socket or not. 2. test_user /usr/bin/esd -d hw:1 -tcp -port 10800 -bind localhost - nobeeps It's the esd process using TCP port. I want to know why and how Gnome launch 2 process for ESD. I thought it should be only one (the second process ). I'd like launch different esd daemon for different user. Is it possible? Is there any documentation for how Gnome launch esd during session startup? Anyone can explain it to me? Thanks. Rocky
