Esound comes with a program esddsp that can, in some cases, make these
programs use esound instead of /dev/dsp. It doesn't always work though.
Also, if you can convince the program to produce output on stdout, you can
pipe it to esdcat (with sox in between if necessary)

In the ALSA docs it mentions a feature like this as well. However, it
would only work for progs written to use alsa, and it hasn't actually been
implimented yet AFAIK.
