Gnome (and Linux) Sound Issues

[Kent Frazier]

I also forgot to mention that recently I have to kill ESD before
playing movies through totem-xine (or gxine) or else the sound gets
out of sync with the video.  I may have managed to solve that problem
by following the directions from:

The audio seems to stay in sync since I tried this.  I set my default
sink to ALSA instead of ESD.

Just thought it might be relevant to my previous post.
