so I  disabled my AC97 device, and made sure that esd was running, but
i still get an error about the device being unavailable or in use.

I cat'ed a wav file directly to /dev/dsp1 and could hear it, so i know
alsa is loaded properly and my devices are working, but I'm still
having a problem.

Is it possible to create a link from /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp1 so i don't
have to find every configuration file that's looking at /dev/dsp and
change it?  or is there an easy setting to make the gnome2 sound
server point at /dev/dsp1?

any tips here would be great. thanks!
