There's a hint at http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#SDL that there's a new PA driver for SDL.

I commented out this line in /etc/environment:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd

And installed this package:
libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio

After issuing this command, I tried running zsnes again:
unset SDL_AUDIODRIVER

When zsnes start, I get some really weird noises. It's like a .5 second machinegun-crackle.
The sound actually works in Zsnes now, but the sound is full of delay and random tiny crackling-sounds.

When I run zsnes with padsp, it's the same result. I get sound, but it's horribly delayed.

So, I do get sound in Zsnes now, but it's not right.
