Why do we disable esd in libgnome?

[平天韩]

The problem here is we disable the esd supporting when build libgnome. But
if we enable it, gnome_sound_play() works just fine.
( I have tested this.) So I think although we have removed esd from
Fedora 10, but we shouldn't disable esd supporting in libgnome. Right?
