esound and alsa not compatible?

[H. S.]

I had ALSA built as module in the kernel without OSS support. Alsa was 
working fine (xmms, xine, etc.) but was giving no system sounds at all. 
So I installed esound last night (Gnome in Unstable, kernel 2.6.7). 
Since then, after reboot, whichever user logs in kind of own esd because 
if then that user logs out and another logs in, s/he get in 
.xsession-errors:
##############
esd: Failed to fix owner of /tmp/.esd.
Try -trust to force esd to start.
esd: Esound sound daemon unable to create unix domain socket:
/tmp/.esd/socket
The socket is not accessible by esd.
Exiting...

** (gnome-session:4742): WARNING **: Esound failed to start.
###############
When is do 'ps uax | grep esd' i see an esd session from the last user 
that had first logged in. Also, xmms does not work anymore. Killing esd 
solves the xmms problem but Gnome system sounds do not work then. What 
am I missing?
