Despite the various and sundry advances in linux

multiple audio streams, one must use an audio server such as esd,
aRts, etc. Wouldn't it be nice if all the legacy apps "just worked"?
Without blocking each other?
Who really cares? The apps are going to get ported to alsa (or better
yet jack) eventually anyway. Otherwise, may they rest in peace.
Instead of spending that much time and effort solving a problem that
/barely/ exists, just port the apps!
