I found that if I kill esd, I can get Realplayer to work. (With ps it shows up as "esd -nobeeps"). However, while Realplayer is running, it appears that I cannot get system sounds. Is there something I need to do to get sound apps to play well together? ~Rik -- Ranger Rik -- RikSca@mac.com Brought to you by FreeBSD 4.4 Joshua 24:15 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
