The only thing I got out of that was to copy libgstdsp* over, which didn't help. I assume I missed something? Direct link, please (if there is one)!

EDIT: Looking at it more, it looks like a missing device or ESD may be the issue (a few things, such as ESD by default, look for /dev/dsp, which doesn't exist, and I can't tell if ESD is running, ps aux|grep esd returns a "[mipid_esd]")

I hope that's helpful.

EDIT2: Also, Debian's ESD is being used and not Maemo's, FWIW.

EDIT3: Maemo has more ESD processes running:

/bin/sh -c /usr/bin/esd -promiscious -spawnf (cut off?)
/usr/bin/esd -promiscuous -nobeeps -spawnfd 15

EDIT4: Sound works even after moving /usr/bin/esd to /usr/bin/esd.bak and rebooting, but seems choppier (that may be stuff going on in the background, though). Maybe this isn't the answer...
