About ESD, well I read somewhere that is deprecated and if it continue here
is only for compatibility isues. ALSA support more sound cards and also is
besta managed by the laste kernel versions. Actually I tried to install alsa
in my machine. I recomend it, because ESD has some problems and now is dead.

In order to kill ESD daemon you can do this (As root):

killall esd
