I think Andreas may have answered that, if you open the old sound device 
(/dev/dsp) you don't get multi-open.  You must use the ALSA API for this.  But 
it sounds odd for esd to not use ALSA with such a recent version of esd.

The result of a test with the new ALSA implementation in Emacs would be 
interesting.
