sound filter patches and related.

[Ken T. <ke...@we...>]

Hello all,

I've re-done the filter-heartbeat-dmasound patch for 2.2, now its done the
way Geert suggested - it is much better.

Not commited it yet as I had another hiccup with cvs, I've lost the top
level CVS directory, is it because I'm in the dir when I do things, and
don't specify it on the cvs command line ?  Or is it make mrproper ? Because
2.2 is a link to 2.2_orig ?
 
About kb beeps, they are a bit intrusive, is it worth turning them off
when sound is playing ?

Is there an easy way to see if sound is active ?

The beeps come out as tone, tone+noise or just noise when sound is active
anyway, has anyone looked at why ?

Along the way I found that the recent versions of esound rpm from
helix-gnome don't work at all well.

'esound-0.2.17-1_helix_1.ppc.rpm' off the LinuxPPC 2000 CD is the latest I
could find that works.
