[Slackbuilds-users] qemu annotations

[Antonio Hernández Blas]

Hi Thomas.

Two weeks ago, i sent the next message to the current maintainer, no
response so far:

Hi Edward, i'm writing you to suggest the dropping of esd from
qemu.SlackBuild (--audio-drv-list=alsa,oss,sdl,esd)

As a reference:
* Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633390
* Gentoo & Arch: i don't see them using it in their builds.
