I finally had time to go back and revisit this problem.  Still doesn't
work for me.  However I am trying with the iMac Bondi Blue machines as I
have more of these than 5500's.  Any idea why the same process won't
seem to work on these?  I have made the change in lts.conf for
SOUND_DAEMON = "esd" and added the esd:5:once:/usr/bin/esd -nobeeps -tcp
-port 16001 -public to the /etc/inittab along with the X -query stuff.
I get sound when running the local YDL but not when running X -query
from the server.  Could you shoot me a copy of your lts.conf and inittab
just to be sure I am not doing something stupid?  All of our crappy
Bondi iMacs have 160MB of RAM in them as well and just fly as thin
clients, with sound they would be awesome, plus the color is great.

Thanks
