Isn't there already one ported from RedHat? Package sndconfig, IIRC.

IRQ7 is normally reserved for the parallel port and should not be used
for any other devices. Please use 5,9,10,11 or 12(unless you have a PS/2
mouse).

And what is needed to be configured by Esound? Installation script ask
you about installed sound hardware, and then it should work. The few
optional settings of esd can be changed in esound.conf, but the are
really optional and if your esd does explicitely need them, report as a
bug.

The permissions are okay, you should just add the users to appropriate
groups.
