Esound is a pretty low-level dependency in GNOME, thus all apps that
depend on libgnome, depend on esound.  This does not mean you have to
_use_ esound, though.  You don't have to run the esound daemon.  In
fact, you could add WITHOUT_GNOME=esound to /etc/make.conf, which will
prevent esound-optional apps from depending on it.
