Forgive me for not knowing internals correctly but would it be
relatively simple to tweak the esd source such that the binary daemon is
not built but just the library? That way until libcanbera(?) is fully
adopted and libesd dies, there is still the libesd system which can be
used with a pa server and everything is hunky dory?
