I've been using ESD because it was the default with my RedHat 7.3 install, but I'm tired of it. Sometimes it doesn't start right, and it only allows one connection (ie: one program to use audio at a time). Due to this I want to switch Sound Servers but I'm not sure what to try. I considered switching to KDE's ArtsD, but it skips if there's a high processor load, or if I launch applications. Currently I'm using a C-Media onboard card on my Soyo Dragonplus motherboard (5 channel, digital).
Can anyone recommend a good sound server that can allow multiple applications to use sound, and has a low memory overhead? If possible could you also link to relevant information regarding how to install it?
Thanks (I know I've been asking a lot lately)
