Hi hi,

We have the discussion a while ago. The problem was nobody could decide where it 
belongs to. Initially one can belive all it needs is a simple wrapper lib that 
offers that API. While that is possible, it would not mimic the behaviour of esd 
in terms of caching sound snippets etc. (or at least that would need more work).
