[K12OSN] Getting sound to work with LTSP-esd-alsa

[Carl Keil]

Hey,

Thanks for the reply.  You were right.  That directory and file weren't 
there.  mkdir /tmp/.esd  and then touch /tmp/.esd/socket didn't solve my 
problem though.  Audio is working everywhere I want it to, except flash 
in firefox.  I'm running the flashplugin 9 beta and I did the suggested 
hacks to get it to work.  Maybe I need to reinstall flash 9 without the 
hacks?
