Yes, it seems really rude to say that all of the sudden each and every
sound app has to have ESD support. Why the heck do we have to abide by
the rules of some "enlightened" sound *daemon*? We don't convert all of
our fonts (or something similar) to be TrueType just because xfstt
exists...
This is not in Policy, and it requires us to have four additional
packages installed, and our packages to depend on two more libraries.
Thank goodness that these libs aren't so big.
