portaudio in EL-5?

[Michael A. Peters]

I don't know if this is fixed in the branch for EL-5 - but the fedora 
portaudio RPMs obsolete ESD which causes problems because gnome links 
against ESD.

RPM doesn't handle it well - it blindly removes ESD and installs 
portaudio leaving gnome broken due to lack of shared libraries.

Any EL5 build of port audio must not package the /usr/bin/esd 
compatibility script and must not obsolete ESD. Then it installs just 
fine, I've done it.
