Well, it would be gnome that is using esound, so I thought that was a
fairly valid asumption.

The control center is not that large.

You can also make this change by hand by editing ~/.gnome/sound/system
(create it if it doesn't exist), and change the start_esd key to false in
the settings section. So it might look something like:
[settings]
start_esd=false
Now none of the gnome apps should try to start esd.
