I tried running Gnome on a box that had sound module problems, and found I was unable to run anything. One solution would be to have a dummy version of esd that discards its input. Some such approach is *necessary* for those systems where there is no sound support (yet), such as portables with a Maestro chip, or desktops with no sound card at all.
