Thanks for your prompt reply. The problem has partly solved now.
I can mouseover to preview sound files now but when I changed to "View as Audio" mode and click on play buttons, the error message "/dev/dsp in use" still pops up. In order to get this function works, I still have to disable system sound. :( Although, I can play sound files with xmms or other like applications, but I just want to make full use of nautilus. BTW, why I can't get esdsink work with gstreamer? I have merged esound already.
