So I tried some things - xine WAS using esd (I noticed because playing a video and killing esd - sound skipped immediately). So I switched off esd support under sound control (I wonder why there still is esd set to default?) and esd isn't started anymore. BUT the problem still remains... -- Audio device busy after first use https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36932
