Just finished "updating" esound and when I try and start an app or esd I get:

Code:

Does the device /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp2 exists?

Do you have alsa in the USE variable in /etc/make.conf?

If you are using alsa, try to rebuild esound with the USE variable changed. But still it should work with oss. Well I can't think of anything else,

I put Alsa in there and `emerge esound` again, but esd still gives the above errors.

I had the same error (had just installed gnome (1.4) for the first time).
Had no clue were to start, but now it works again.

I did the following:
- switch to a new kernel (from 2.4.19-r1 to 2.4.19-gentoo-r7).
- emerged nvidia & alsa drivers again.

Then I noticed that the alsa driver states at the end that the alsasound script should be add to "boot" not to "default". This was the case for me!
So I changed it:
# rc-update del alsasound default
# rc-update add alsasound boot

Now after reboot esound magically works again!

I hope that this helps, since I have been playing around all day to get it to work again... I hope that this is the solution and not something else that I have done...
