I like the idea.  This is a host-based option (i.e., people will decide if
they use esound, for gnome, or arts, for kde).  We could use these options
for many packages that actually use esd unconditionally (and forget arts,
as you say).  The problem is... which default values do these options have? ;)
Both to YES, both to NO...?
