If you turn of sound stuff and don't run esd then you will be fine.
At the moment I don't have a sound card in my system so I turned of
sound and don't run esd and have no problems. For me, when I did try
and start, eg, xmms I would get "couldn't open /dev/dsp" errors (duh,
no sound card there) but GNOME, etc, would still work properly.
