From FS#16502: With GNOME 2.28 arriving, it's time to make esound an optional package, which is currently not the case.

Do you want to give us an explanation why this would be a good idea?

Here is the list of the packages which requires esound. I think for all of them that esound should be an optional dependency (except maybe enlightenment?).

* bmp * cinelerra-cv * enlightenment * epplet-base * freeciv * gmerlin * gstreamer0.10-good-plugins * kvirc * kvm * libgnome * qemu * vice * xine-lib * xmms

Also, you forgot about all the packages the depend on "esd". Allan
