[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#312299: ESD only?

[EspeonEefi]

I have run into the same problem (I'm on a ThinkPad T42). An interesting
thing I noticed was that sound was only disturbed when sound was being
output by ESD (GNOME system events, Gaim events with ESD selected for
sound method, Rhythmbox with esdsink for GStreamer sink). When sound was
being output straight to ALSA (Gaim events with Automatic selected and
ESD put in standby mode, Rhythmbox with alsasink for GStreamer sink),
everything played perfectly.

On another note, why did you close this bug report? The bug still exists
in the package in the Debian archive. Once a bug is filed upstream, this
bug may be marked forwarded to upstream, but it seems incorrect to say
this bug has been resolved unless it really has been fixed in Debian. In
addition, by leaving the bug open, as it should be, people who have
found a similar problem can find more information in the expected place
(the list of currently-known bugs).
