YES!!!! That did it!!! Thank you very much! Actually Pierre suggested the
same but with less copy and paste commands :)

I had to set a different file:

load-module module-esound-protocol-unix socket=/tmp/.esd-1000/socket

Here you can find the output of the strace command:

Now I have another question, does pointing to .esd-1000 make sense?? 1000 ss
my user id, what if this comp was a multiuser machine??

Thanks again,
Matteo
