No-- I am the gnome2.2 backport maintainer-- you are using my packages
and so am I.

Do what I mentioned above, and you should be ok. Any non-gnome
applications need to be configured to use esd (eg, xmms has an esd
plugin). If they can't be configured to use esd, then do:
esdctl off ; yourapp ; esdctl on
esdctl makes esd free the soundcard. Depending on your soundcard, you
may want to try the alsa drivers. Just last night I debugged gnome
hangs on my wife's laptop-- she has an i810_audio chipset, and the in
kernel driver would keep hanging. I could trigger the problems by
having gnome sounds enabled, then toggled a gnome checkbox (ie something
that triggered a sound event) as fast as I could. Installed alsa 0.9.6
(I've been using 0.9.4 on my laptop with great success) and no matter
how fast or how long I toggled that checkbox, it didn't hang.

Yes. known bug. It is basically unusable for everyone. Apparently it
is on upstream's todo list.
