#587: Esound usability/compatibility broken on AMD64 in pulseaudio 0.9.15
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  PhobosK  |       Owner:  lennart        
     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new            
Milestone:           |   Component:  module-esound-*
 Keywords:           |  
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Info:[[BR]]
 pulseaudio 0.9.15 (tried both with the native ebuild and compiling clean
 source)[[BR]]
 Gentoo 2008.0[[BR]]
 AMD64 system[[BR]]
 kernel 2.6.30[[BR]]

 The module-esound-protocol-unix does not work as expected.[[BR]]
 It creates the necessary socket in /tmp/.esd (I have made a symlink
 /tmp/.esd-{$UID} too but it doesn't help) and when playing a sound file
 via any esd client (esdplay, esdcat etc) the sound is not played and there
 is no error in the debug log. In fact the log says the sound has been
 played.[[BR]][[BR]]

 Reproducible: Always[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 Steps to Reproduce:[[BR]]
 1.Start a pulseaudio server[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 2.try to play a .wav file with esdplay (esdcat etc), e.g. : [[BR]]
 esdplay usr/share/sounds/login.wav[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 Actual Results:  [[BR]]
 output of esdplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav:[[BR]]
 No error. [[BR]]
 No sound produced.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 output from pulseaudio log:[[BR]]

 The server itself works great, only esound compatibility is broken.[[BR]]
 Ekerazha reported a similar bug here long ago-
 http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/121[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 This isssue seems not to have anything to do with the gentoo system
 because i compiled pulse from clean sources also but it didn't help at
 all.
