It sounds like you are running ESD and SDL is using it because it can’t

Yup, there’s an esd process. The latency isn’t that bad, after all, just
a
little worse than before. The significantly better mixing more than
makes up for the
latency - I’ve stopped noticing it! Sounds like I could adjust the
system
setup if I cared (not SDL related), and that most other users won’t see
this.
SDL has control of the audio […] so helper
apps will probably not be able to open the audio device for playback.
MUSIC_CMD was originally designed for things like hardware MIDI playback
or a second sound card.
Fair enough
No problem. Try the SDL mailing list next time.
