Am I to understand that  with alsa and jack, more than one audio
interface cannot be supported?  I don't think i can disable my ac97
device in bios... does this mean i have to use it instead of the
SoundBlaster Live?

on a separate note, looking at the output of 'ps aux' i definitely
don't see esd running, is that the default gnome2 sound daemon?  I
don't seem to have any sound daemon running at all, and it seems this
could be part of the problem.
