Bug#486238: epiphany-browser no sound with esd

[Imre Horvath]

Thanks for the fast relpy Josselin!

For me there is no sound for flash and no sound for applets until I kill
esd.

I'm using the following plugins:
flashplayer-mozilla:
  Installed: 9.0.124.0-0.0
  Candidate: 9.0.124.0-0.0
  Version table:
 *** 9.0.124.0-0.0 0
        500 http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

sun-java5-plugin:
  Installed: 1.5.0-14-1etch1
  Candidate: 1.5.0-14-1etch1
  Version table:
 *** 1.5.0-14-1etch1 0
        500 http://ftp.hu.debian.org etch/non-free Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What do you think why is that while esd is running there is no sound but if
I kill esd both flash and java applets are playing sound in epiphany with no
problem?

Thanks!
Imre
