I am trying to run Xmms on Mac OS X. I have got it installed and all the libraries are in place. It launches fine, but complains about the soundcard being busy (this seems to be a common newbie problem). But I have tracked it back to esound. I have tried all the tips and tricks I have found around on this site. Yet I still can't get esd to start properly. Whatever options I choose I get this output : code:
using device Built-in audio controller for output:
with sample rate 44100.000000, 2 channels and 32-bit sample
unsupported device.
The version of esound I am using is : 0.2.23. Installed with Fink. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I am on a B/W G3 300 Mhz, 512mb RAM. I have no extra soundcards or anything. Is my soundcard not compatible?! (never thought I would have to ask that about a Mac!  ) Thanks

The problem was my USB webcam. Esound was obviously trying to use it as a sound out! Ofcourse the webcam doesn't have a speaker, just a mic. Disconnecting the cam solved the problem.
