Well, I have an sblive, so my /dev/dsp can handle multiple sounds at
once... which means I hate alsa because it's needless complication, and
I hate esd because it's awful (XMMS's little visualisation window is out
of sync with the music when it uses esd). So, gaim uses command 'play',
and everything else uses OSS output, as far as I know.
A user of ALSA would never, ever denigrate it as "needless
complication".
