PulseAudio is the future:

There is a presentation linked to off of their site that lists the
limitations of other solutions, such as ALSA dmix. I use it, it's quite
nice--Zeroconf support for network-transparent sound. Which is nice
when you want to play a video on your laptop and get sound output
through a stereo hooked up to your desktop box. :)

Best yet it has support for emulating ESD, right down to it's API and
wire protocol.
