after starting mozilla, the esd daemon is run always, even if no sound is
produced. It disables access to sound device. This did not happen with 1.2.1
this is build from 2003011500 UTC

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
esd should only be called if it's needed.
This does indeed happen on my box running 2003020420. 
Duplicate of Bug 188155?
I wouldn't say so - bug 188155 seems to be caused by preference setting - play a
sound in typing in a page. I have turned off all sounds and don't want mozilla
to play anything.

about bug 188155 - I tried playing sound in web page search and when new mail
arrives, but only got beep from pc speaker - no sound. but that belongs probably
to bug 188155...
I want to confirm that this bug still exists on mozilla 1.3.1. Start up mozilla
and then do a ps ax, and you should notice that esd is running. Even when
accessability.typeaheadfind.enablesound is disabled, esd still starts. esd does
cause a lot of problems with other programs that want use the sound card,
especially wineX in my instance, so I recommend that esd only be started if the
user requests it.

Thanks
It looks that this bug has disappeared from newer versions of mozilla. Thank you.
This happens to me with Mozilla 1.4rc1. It's very annoying. It starts the daemon
when I start typing at the address field, then it makes some noise for a while.

berarma@ya.com: does this happen with 1.6 of mozilla?
I tried official mozilla-1.6a and own build of 2 days old cvs (but newer than
1.6a) and found out that both start esd, when:
- preference accessibility.typeaheadfind.autostart is true even if
accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound is false
- I press any key in browser's window, including alt

It does not happen on other my notebook, where the dirfferencies are
- multichannel sound card (does mozilla really detect this?)
- 104-character keyboard (shouldn't affect that)

I hope these will help find out what's happening...
Summary: esd run on mozilla startup alwaya → esd run on mozilla startup always
Thanks for the investigation.
