The ALSA API changed between ALSA 0.5 and 0.9. esd-alsa uses the 0.5 API, so you won't be able to use esd-alsa. alsaplayer should work though. You probably have an older version. I think the 0.9 API support was added in 0.99.36 or thereabouts. The latest version in unstable is 0.99.56.
Heh, it's nice to see someone does his homework. Upgraded to alsaplayer-alsa 0.99.36 and it works, so does libarts-alsa 2.2.0. Just wondering if there is some way to get esd to use native alsa instead of oss-compatabiulity-layer? What sounddeamon will gnome2 use?
The reason I ask this is that esd seems to conflict with several apllications (quake 2 & 3 is what i can think of, sometimes wine also doesn't like it), i usually have to kill it to make things work
