Program History:
EsounD was coded and maintained by Eric B. Mitchell (aka 'Ricdude) <ericmit@ix.netcom.com>
before moving on to other things.
This was based on a prototype sound daemon created by Carsten
Haitzler (aka The Rasterman). Some snips of his code are
probably still lurking about, but the overwhelming majority
of it was written from scratch.
