This was addressed in GStreamer 0.10 in the following ways:
- the default audiosink is autodetected at run-time from the list of
available audiosinks
- all codecs, decoders, demuxers have been merged in common packages
since these are usually always desirable
- esound is split in a separate package, jack disappeared, alsa is
standard (and expected to work) in all Debian kernels and is shipped
by default, and artsd/artsc (arts) are no more
Hence, I'm closing this bug.
