I don't think Dave was suggesting that, I think he was merely pointing 
out that it will probably happen... I could be wrong.
Anyway, I don't think Gnome needs to provide esound as fallback daemon, 
distributions that don't/won't ship polypaudio are probably going to 
include esound or whatever sound system they want to use.
