The only thing close to this is "esd -terminate" that kills the server after the last client exits. However that's not very useful for gnome, since it only plays a little sound every once in a while. It'd have to run the server each time it wants to play a sound. It would be better off just trying to grab /dev/dsp whenever it needs to.
