Hi! Indeed I tried to apply various patches to the esound Ubuntu package, but none of them helped so far. The bug is really in esound, it does not work well with the new ALSA library, which enables dmix by default.
Indeed direct gstreamer -> ALSA output (or applications outputting directly to ALSA), and polypaudio work just fine, so this really seems to be an esound problem. We already thought of switching to polypaudio completely. It has some nice features, but still needs a bit of stabilization. I coordinated this with Otavio Salvador, who recently uploaded polypaudio to Debian experimental (sitting in NEW ATM, I suppose). However, if the new esound upstream version fixes the dmix problem, that would be much appreciated.
