Well, then I wasn't talking to you.  :)  Perhaps ALSA lets you open
/dev/dsp multiple times.  I dunno.

Even if multiple opens are no longer a problem, sound servers
still have benefits over /dev/dsp.  So, it would be
really interesting to hear from someone who uses Squeak through esd
using the esddsp wrapper.  From the docs, I don't see how they could get
latency down to anything reasonable.  But it would be nice to see some
verification of this.  (When I try it, it doesn't work at all....)
