Greetings,
'emerge -pv -uDN world' just showed me this:

Now, installation of esound was necessary for my SeaMonkey to be able to
notify of new mail with a custom sound file. I do *not* want pulseaudio,
so, do you know of an replacement for esound which could work with
SeaMonkey?

I don't have esound enabled on my Seamonkey and it plays a sound when I
get new mail. It did stop working for a while but it started working in
the later part of version 1 and has worked in Seamonkey 2 from the start.
I did read some of the thread on -dev about this. I think there was
only a couple packages that uses esound and I don't recall Seamonkey
being one of them. Are you sure it needs esound? It doesn't show up
here as a option. I'm on amd64 on my main rig and x86 on my back up.
It doesn't show esound anywhere on either of them.

I do have alsa enabled tho. Would that work for you too?
