heh, heh, heh ;)
aRTs (Advanced Real Time Sound) is superior then ESD for the following reason:
1. aRTs is fully compatible to ESD.
2. It takes less memory and cpu resources
3. you don't need any special configuration for your apps (you mention for
example Real Player which supports ESD, well with aRTs you simply don't need
to change anything and it will play all the sounds - from my Real Player
while I'm getting ICQ messages from LICQ and while I'm playing Alice in
Wonder world with WineX - all is running under a tiny poor ES1371 sound card).
ESD DOES causes problems with winex from my experience (try to run 3DMark
2000 with ESD and see how you sometime loose sync totally).
