ERROR: Failed to load plugin /usr/lib/ao/plugins-4/libesd.so => dlopen() failed

[Matthew Pirocchi]

Libao should not by default report errors loading plugins. (NB: This is fixed in Debian, and should automatically be fixed in the next sync of libao)

I receive this error whenever I start pianobar:
ERROR: Failed to load plugin /usr/lib/ao/plugins-4/libesd.so => dlopen() failed

It's not a fatal error--pianobar appears to run without any problems. But I thought you should probably know.

I've seen this also on my machine. I wonder if maybe a rebuild is needed.

It also affects "Shell.FM"

It happens on Ubuntu 10.10 with cdrdao.
I used Ubuntu Software Center to get the cdrao package.

Get this message when starting cdrao:
"failed to load plugin /usr/lib/ao/plugins-4/libesd.so"
