Thanks, Mark: On my machine, FC5,
ps -ef | grep esd
tom 2233 1 0 Aug03 ? 00:00:09 /usr/bin/esd -terminate
-nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 18
I asked my daughter (she's up in Minneapolis) and hers is the same.
I've now got her next step to stop and start alsa and report what
happens. I installed FC5 on my machine, and on hers. I don't remeber
which setup I used for my install, and which setup I chose for hers.
Something is blocking the path to /dev/dsp, on her machine when she
tries the microphone recording.
