Yes, I would much prefer to do that, epoching the version number would work. I also want to add in the processor vfp optmisations so rebuilding from source + with the debian packaging diff would do it for me.

Indeed, it's heavily optmised for the tablet, processor opts etc and the default video output is the omap framebuffer straight. I want to recompile the maemo version.

The esd differentiates in the fact it can actually use the dsp, unfortunately the dsp headers are not open so the only way is to use maemo's one.
