I know, but we cannot enable alsasink by default in Breezy since dmix still does
not work out of the box for too many sound cards. So esd needs to stay the
default for now until dmix support improves.

However, users are free to change the sink to ALSA theirselves. If it works,
it's certainly preferable to esd.
