According to this bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=187730 "had the very same problem with esound: I enabled auto spawn in esound (/etc/esound/esd.conf; auto_spawn=1) and it just works as expected :-)" So apparently a problem with esound default's configuration ... > though.

Let's calm down. We have no time/interest to fork the file selector.

I don't know, I've just got half of the thread in my box and read it quickly. BTW you should not juge on what some guys said but rather have a look on what most of GNOME Team guys are doing (ie: in the BTS, bugzilla, list, ...). And since you probably don't have time to loose in the BTS just for that, let me say it: we communicate with upstreams (bugzilla, lists, ...) and try to work with them to solve the problems.
