ALSA's all very well, but I use esd's network sound capabilities too.
ALSA doesn't seem to be able to do this: esd can *use* ALSA, but that
means I'm still compiling apps to use esd, and losing most of ALSA's
advantages.

Is there a way for me to use ALSA yet keep the network-transparency of
esd? (Obviously I don't care about latency very much if I'm playing
sound over the network!)
