1. Disable ESD or killing it.

This can be done from System> Preferences> Sound .

2. Configuring ESD to release the sound device after some period of idle time.

This has been done for both Breezy (5.10) and Dapper (6.06.1 LTS); cf.
/etc/esound/esd.conf .

3. Configure the game to use ESD.

If the game is SDL-based, one could (re)install libsdl1.2debian-esd. The
recommended route is to use libsdl1.2debian-alsa (which is installed)
instead.

4. Everybody using ALSA, which supports hardware/software sound mixing
which allows several different applications to output sound at the
same time.

Mostly. OSS-only applications (notably Adobe Flash) will need
hackarounds like esd or aoss.

Thanks,
