Comment 7 for bug 17770

I seem to be having stuttering output from esd since changing to "breezy" and I
have an
nforce2 based motherboard with onboard sound.

I can get good playback from these:
mpg321 -o alsa
mplayer using alsa

I get stuttering playback at increased speed from these programs/switches:
mpg321 -o esd
mpg321 -o oss
mplayer using esd
xmms using esd
rhythmbox

I cannot get xmms to use alsa as it complains with:
"Couldn't open Audio" error message

This seems to be the same for wav and mp3 filetypes, but I haven't bothered
to try any others as I suspect it will make no difference.
