A possible fix for an esound error UNIX
If you're trying to use the Fink install of esound, you may get an error about an 'unsupported device' at some point. According to a post by SinceWhen in this thread on the forum site, the fix may be as simple as changing a setting in (I believe) Audio MIDI Setup (in Applications -> Utiltiies). From SinceWhen's post:
... I went to my MIDI setup and I discovered that my Output Line device was set to 48000 Hz. I had no idea how it flipped. I changed it back to 44100 and everything ran smooth!
I can't confirm this one, as I'm not using esound, but thought it was worth sharing.

A possible fix for an esound error

I posted this on that thread. You don't need eSound at all. OS X's CoreAudio is already multichannel. Many sound cards, such as the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 (and any of their cards that uses the Delta drivers... which is just about all of them!) has a multichannel option in the list of audio devices, i.e., "Multichannel Delta AP." Using the multichannel option stops sounds from cutting each other off.

A possible fix for an esound error

Is there a way to compile esound from source? I'm trying to avoid package managers. I have been unsuccessful in porting it from source. There is a binary floating on the 'net but it is really OLD. Audiofile, however, does compile easily on Mac OS X
