The following problem started to pop up recently, though I am not sure what I did (probably upgraded the outdated packages including some GNOME ones): ESD launches fine, plays the sounds fine, but during idle moments it doesn't just sit there, but sits there loading the system (to 99% or thereabouts). Interestingly enough, the load goes down when ESD actually play sounds, the load is high only when idle.
Is there any known cause of this, or any way of debugging the matter further.
I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with MacPorts. You may want to ask the developers of EDS. I would have checked the EDS portfile to see if it's doing anything weird, but I can find no port called EDS, so I don't know what port you're talking about. Then again I don't know anything about Gnome so maybe this will be self-explanatory to someone who does.
