Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 156769
gnome-sound-properties requires esd
Last modified: 2008-04-23 01:45:45 EDT
With alsa 1.0.9 in development repository and dmix enabled by default, there's no need to require esd. gstreamer uses alsa by default and it works. GNOME sound preferences capplet doesn't allow events sounds without checking Sound server checkbox, I assume only because the UI design. Please remove this option and control-center's depency of libesd.so Reference: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-April/msg00709.html (note that issues 1 and 2 from that email are solved now) Thanks
The playback code uses esd, so it needs to be running. In F7, we should have pulse running, so the dependency wouldn't be on esound anymore, but on Pulse directly.
the dependency is actually on /usr/bin/esd nowadays, which is provided by either esound or pulseaudio-esound-compat
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
The dependency is gone nowadays
