Comment 3 for bug 18002

Skype uses /dev/dsp (which is oss) for sound. When you try to call someone, it
will complain that there's no audio device available (or something similar).
using "essdsp skype" from package esound-common does not work on breezy as for
jul 25. Completely disabling esd works, but no more sound events.

Perhaps something could be done on ubuntu part to leave /dev/dsp available for
those applications which use oss (I think skype is a crucial one). There are
several games which use it also.
