That does sound like an annoying bug that's really getting in your way. 
And it's bad if calling esd_open_sound results in a "momentary hang". I'm 
not sure how to fix it, but I'll try to look into it soon (or maybe 
someone else will volunteer to check it out?).

On the other hand, this code has been the same in Nautilus 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.
2, and 1.0.3, so I'm not sure why you think it's a show-stopper for 
Nautilus 1.0.4.
