Ok, I'm home now :-). After loggin in (via gdm), "ps -A | grep esd"
show nothing. Looking in the gnome control panel under sound I see
that the "Enable sound server startup" check box is not selected. As
a result the "Sounds for events" is disabled. So as it turns out, I'm
not running esound at all on this (woody) machine and have no problems
at all. (Well, I can't play music, but that's what I get for not
buying a sound card ;-))
