Actually, several of those games support ONLY esd for sound. Disabling esd = 
disabling sound in those games. Not so nice, considering that PulseAudio 
still supports the ESD protocol just fine. Now if Lennart is going to drop 
the protocol support from PulseAudio, then libesd will have to go away as 
well, but if it's just about Fedora maintainership, then the maintainer(s) 
of one or more of the affected packages should just take it over.
