I'll ask monty about this. I believe he investigated this particular
problem in depth.

Ok, I'll be happy to file some bugs and provide patches.
How about this list of changes as a starting point:
- Split esound into esound (daemon and utils) and esound-libs (#223503)
- Make the package install /usr/bin/esd instead of /usr/bin/esdcompat
and make it conflict with esound - that should take care of
most of the gnome stack.
- Figure out a way to avoid the pulse-rt group requirement, or
alternatively, add users to pulse-rt automatically.
- Make module-hal-detect work with recent kernels
