You could recompile your gnome-libs without libesd/libaudiofile installed,
but then GNOME wouldn't have sound support at all.

There's really no need to worry about linking libesd & libaudiofile with
your app - no actual resources will be used unless the program
(directly or via the standard GNOME hooks) makes use of sound.
