           Summary: libao default sound demon set incorrectly (esd vs. arts)
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libao
        AssignedTo: debzilla at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: mendebrock at cfl.rr.com
         QAContact: kubuntu-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


I found that the default preference for the libao was set to esd (which isn't enabled 
by a stock install of Kubuntu 5.04). It's in the file /etc/libao.conf and contains by 
default: 
 
default_driver=esd 
 
I found it when I was encoding some .ogg audio files and wanted to play them back 
using the ogg123 command line player. It complained about the 'esd' driver not being 
available. 
 
I changed the setting to: 
 
default_driver=arts 
 
and everything worked just fine.
