I'm not saying they should develop new libraries. Just that they need to
standardize on particular APIs/libraries that all work together OK.
(I think both GNOME & KDE are considering switching audio APIs at the
moment, so now is a good time for the linux-audio community to get
involved.)
Have you considered Polypaudio:

The Ubuntu people are looing at replacing ESD with this one. In their
scheme, Polypaudio would use ALSA's dmix rather than direct ALSA.
