You might want to talk to Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> about this -- a
posting from Havoc Pennington when I was looking around for a
maintainer suggested that he was looking into working on a
replacement.  (I wrote him but am unable to locate his answer -- I got
the impression that he has a lot of work on GTK+ itself ahead of it
however, so I am not too worried about converting my programs to it
for now.)

I understand KDE is working on implementing networked sound, and that
there is a chance that the two sound systems will be consolidated.
(Rumor?)

Also in the same thread David Benson <daveb@idealab.com> announced
that he was working on a replacement for esound that can be found at:
http://gdam.org/

Hope this helps.  (If you or anyone finds out a place that keeps
people up to date on the future of gnome networked sound I would
appreciate finding out about it, because it is most inconvenient to
have to reprogram things at the drop of a hat.)
