Take a look at the command arguments for esd. It's possible to tell
esd to not hang onto /dev/dsp when it doesn't need it.
My /etc/esound/esd.conf says:
[esd]
auto_spawn=1
spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2
spawn_wait_ms=100
and with that, esd-aware and esd-unaware applications are able to
coexist just fine.
(if you go this route, esd will of course need to be restarted)
