Personally, I would argue about ESD being fine. Though it is moot
really, since ESD is dead. And of course SDL and Phonon (and OpenAL
and libao, etc) are in a very different space from PA/Jack, being
sound libraries rather than sound servers. ALSA is different again,
being the fundamental interface to the sound hardware (sharing that
space with OSS).

(needs some updating and improving, e.g. libsydney never came to be)
Which maybe you know all about, but I know plenty of people find a
diagram like that useful. Heck, I did, that is why I made it.
