[sldev] The secret of voice on linux.

[Alan Grimes]

The Sekrit to get voice to work on linux is make ESD work. To do that 
you need to go start the daemon process... On gentoo, if you have it 
installed, it will be hiding in /etc/init.d

As root the command

/etc/init.d/esound status

will tell you if you need to start it,

then the command

/etc/init.d/esound start

will start it if it is not running.

there's also a way to put it into your automated configs but that's a 
bit too scary for me.

the .asoundrc files are evil and mostly useless.
