esound library routine incorrectly identifies DISPLAY on Leopard

[apple@…]

Running Leopard's X11.app the audio/esound port cannot any longer deal with a request to play sound on a local machine when code passes the NULL parameter to identify the desired server to the esdlib.c library functions. The function esd_open_sound expects a DISPLAY variable to be something such as 0:0. Leopard uses a different scheme. esd_open_sound cannot see DISPLAYs such as /tmp/launch-A6wxg2/:0 as valid. I have a patch that works, but I am not a programmer. Soemone who understands a better way to determine whether the code is running under Leopard should fix this. I have attached my patch.

This port is not maintained.

Patch for audio/esound/esound-2.38/esdlib.c

You should file a bug with the developers of esound. Once they fix it and release a new version incorporating the fix, the port can be updated to that new version.
