Proposal: package.mask media-sound/esound, use.mask USE=esd. Anything that still uses it should stop using it. Anything that /needs it/ should be purged from the tree with extreme prejudice[1]. I'll do the first two today, and the rest of the rituals necessary to complete the exorcism will take a month. Help in this regard is welcome since the job is rather straightforward. Thanks! 1. In exceptional cases, a dependency on pulseaudio will also suffice since pulseaudio emulates an esound socket while running with `module-protocol-esound-unix` loaded, which is the default. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
