Easy fix -- Don't run ESD.  Usually when your sound is skipping with ESD it 
means you dont have enough resources to do what your doing.  Try it with good 
old normal OSS sound.  If it still skips and you know you have enough cpu (ie, a 
k6-2/400) try to move the card's irq/dma and try again.. Also.. the audiopci 
(es1371) cards are cheap and are a great way to reduce your isa traffic (which 
can suck some clock cycles.)  pci is superior in memory transfer, and 44.1khz 
stereo from mp3 is pretty nasty stuff to xfer.

(not like some scsi cd burners though.)

Seeya.
