No, I meant that media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit (but not media-
sound/jack) and media-sound/esound are installed, but I did not see them 
running. Anyway, I explicitely deactivated the esd use flag and unmerged 
esound. Now both "Jack Audio Connection Kit" and "Esound (ESD)" devices no 
longer generate the test sound in system settings -> multimedial. That is, 
the sound still appears, but I get a message that the devices are not 
available, and that "HDA ATI SB (HDA Generic)" will be used instead.

But still, /dev/dsp is busy with amarok running.
