Re: No sounds other than console beep; what's wrong? (solved?)

I found the line (110) in XEmacs src/esd.c that was the root of the problem: sock = esd_play_stream(flags, speed, NULL, ESD_NAME); The function in esdlib is prototyped as int esd_play_stream( esd_format_t format, int rate, const char *host, const char *name ); Passing the value NULL for the host worked until I recompiled XEmacs for Leopard. esd expects a host name or an octet string (with optional port/socketname appended). But the code in esdlib is supposed to accept !host as a signal to use localhost. However, it doesnot to work because of the new scheme for setting DISPLAY in OS X. If I change the call from XEmacs so that the NULL is replaced by "localhost", the sound plays.
