What sound output options does that leave? I see only arts-devel in the 
BuildRequires list, and that's actually worse than esound, because it 
requires running another sound server from KDE 3 era on top of PulseAudio 
(which gets autospawned, but it unnecessarily eats resources), whereas the 
ESD protocol is emulated by PulseAudio.

I'd suggest dropping arts support (to squelch dependency bloat) and 
reenabling esound now that it got picked up (unless there's ALSA support 
which works with the PulseAudio ALSA plugin, then you can drop both arts and 
esound).
