I have a system that I dual boot between Debian and RH 7. I'm using the
same /boot, thus I am also using the same kernel image and modules. My
problem is that my sound works great in RH7 (using esd), but in Debian
it's choppy and slow. The problem is only with esd though. If I kill esd
I works fine. Is there a problem with esd on Debian?

I've got Helix Gnome installed and have a Via82cxxx built-in soundcard.
Anyone else having problems like this?
