In a default install, gnome-media isn't using esound.  It attempts to use
OSS directly, which is precisely what you want to avoid (i.e. knowledge on
the underlying implementation).

My mistake, as Sven pointed out, has been ignoring that gstreamer0.10-esd
can solve the problem properly by using esound.  Can you add a dependency
on that package?

We also need to make sure that "autodetect" will figure out that -esd is
installed and works, rather than attempting to use broken OSS (EBUSY) or
ALSA (missing libesd-alsa0).
