The Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESD or ESounD) allows multiple programs to play sounds at the same time. The software you are running may or may not be using ESD to play sounds. To have XQF use ESD, configure the sound player to be /usr/bin/esdplay instead of play or sox. Configure your other applications to use ESD. For example, to configure XMMS to use ESD, press Control P inside of XMMS and on the Audio I/O Plugins page select ‘eSound Output Plugin’ for the Output Plugin. On an RPM based system, use ‘rpm -q esound’ to see if it ESD is installed. For more information on ESD, see /usr/share/doc/esound*.
