Duh, whats the point of loading esd if you have artsd? And whats the point of 
having a sound server running anyway as most drivers allow non blocking 
access to /dev/dsp nowadays. Pretty ironic isn't it; artsd/esd is blocking 
/dev/dsp even tho it was meant to prevent just that from ever happening :)
