So, now my question is, of course:

Why hasn't this patch been accepted?

Btw, one reason why esddsp doesn't work with Wine on most systems seems to 
be that esddsp only overloads "open"; not "open64". I've tried patching 
libesddsp so that it overloads "open64" as well. This helps, but things 
works very bad anyway - the sound sometimes stops for minutes.

If only people could agree on a standard sound server...

Esound and arts are relicts of the past. Try jack ,-)

Jack does not support network redirection, which I need. Besides, Esound 
is still the standard sound interface in GNOME, as far as I know.

My GNOME 2.10 (ununtu 5.04) is using GStreamer with polypaudio

Try resubmitting it to wine-patches. If you sound sufficiently angry
Alexandre will explain :)

I suspect the reason is that we already support a million and one sound
servers, but esound is so common it should definitely be in there.

A better solution to network transparent audio is badly needed (eg an app
that records, compresses and forwards whatever is being played at the time).
