esd still produced broken sound - but found workaround.

This is quite related to (if not the same issue) :-
11903 maj P2 Oth <email address hidden> esound RESO FIXE
   Esd sound disturbed since ALSA upgrade to 1.0.9

I just did another update and upgrade via the standard red circle near clock on
top right corner of screen (synaptic).
Even after reboot problem exists.

My solution :- kill esd and restart it using ROOT !!! and voila! Perfect audio !

Linux naanna.localdomain 2.6.10-5-k7 #1 Mon Oct 10 11:52:21 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
# grep audio /etc/group

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in esound.

Because it has been more than a year since this bug was open, I guess I should begin by asking if you think this workaround is still needed
with latest version? esd today, is mostly used for compatibility with older software, as in Gutsy it has mostly been replaced by pulse-audio (I think,
I am a bug triager, not a developer).
