If you turn of sound stuff and don't run esd then you will be fine. At the moment I don't have a sound card in my system so I turned of sound and don't run esd and have no problems. For me, when I did try and start, eg, xmms I would get "couldn't open /dev/dsp" errors (duh, no sound card there) but GNOME, etc, would still work properly. -D
