Most Gnome-Apps are using esd by default, so there's no need to change
that. Enabling a soundsystem globally would be possible in Gnome or KDE,
but this would not help you with apps like xmms. And if you add this to
xmms you would create a whole new set of dependencies: Xmms would depend
on Gnome then (gnome-control-center), so I think this is not a
solution...
