Ehm... esound has a number of uncool features (in the `unstable'
version), like but autentication, references to files (hard coded in the
source)...
If I find some time, I'll take a look at esound-0.2.23 and update my
version of the esound deb.

The `unstable' esound is a daemon which is started by the user (by
enlightenment or gnome). I think this daemon should be started by a
/etc/init.d script. So you can use esound to lisen to MP3's on your
console only box (without starting esd manualy), or you can send all
sound to another computer in the room (one equiped with a (better) sound
card).

With ALSA-0.9 and some kind of (/dev/esddate (like /dev/gpmdata)) all
program's would be happy (I think)
