esd sound on FreeBSD

[tempest at ecst.csuchico.edu]

Hi,

I have just compiled 0.2.81 under FreeBSD 4.3 stable and have run
into a problem whenever I try to play a DVD using esd sound. I
am trying to play "What Dreams May Come" and it gets a segmentation
violation in under 20 seconds. I have verified that it only happens
when I specify -A esd. Sometimes, if I play an MP3 prior to playing
the DVD, it works; but sometimes, it doesn't.

My hardware is an Asus A7V, Radeon AGP, Ensoniq 1370. Running FreeBSD
4.3-STABLE, XFree86 4.1.0.
