|
|
-which you can get rid of by using "killall esd" in a shell.

|
-There's also an "ESD" driver in the Audio settings, but it's not

QQQQ: The sound output gets quite choppy under machine load.

-a1: Don't run the compiled executable directly, but do a full 'make
|
|
-install', this installs the executable setuid root and the audio

-thread gets a much higher priority. Read the notes in the INSTALL file
|
|
-about this subject.
