Well I am open for suggestions....

I was using alsa on its own before, but I could only have one sound 
stream at a time, which is not ideal, so if there is another solution 
please let me know.  I agree that esd is evil, but it is the lesser evil 
when compared to apps hanging because they are waiting for the sound 
device to be released.  Maybe alsa has this working now?
