The problem here is we disable the esd supporting when build libgnome. But
if we enable it, gnome_sound_play() works just fine.
( I have tested this.) So I think although we have removed esd from
Fedora 10, but we shouldn't disable esd supporting in libgnome. Right?

For a core piece of an API keeping compat is certainly important. But
this is sound events, don't forget that. Quite frankly, most people have
them
deatcivated anyway.
It has been documented that this can be disabled at compile time and
it's pretty unimportant anyway and there is a much better replacement
available. Hence I'd assume that the advantage of getting rid of this
legacy cruft will always be more attractive then keeping it around.
