	Nope.  I held off because the debian packages were built off of ALSA
0.4 at last check, and I need at least 0.5.9 (preferably 0.5.10) for it to
handle my cs461x correctly.

	However, since it has apparently been upgraded to 0.5.10b recently,
I'm grabbing it now.

	The advantage of my script is that it doesn't actually kill esound,
it simply suspends it.  Then it reactivates it after an apm resume event. 
However, this can probably be moved to an '01esound' script. :-)
