esound is 0.2.36-1ubuntu5.

Attached.

Nope.  Unlike the other bug, stracing esd doesn't appear to make any difference.

Nor does installing libesd0 in place of libesd-alsa0.

A further possible data point---I'm guessing there's supposed to be a sound
played when gdm start up, but I get a stuttering, low-frequency noise rather
than any sort of pleasing sound.  Perhaps this is related?  I'm installing on an
IBM T22 thinkpad that has had Debian on it for the last four years, with a
cs46xx sound chipset.
