You might be able to use gdb to break into esd when it's hung up. 
However, it is most likely not an esd bug.  I use esd for juust about
everything I can (since it does mixing), and I have never encountered a
problem.  That said, I also don't have (nor have ever tested) esd with a
NeoMagic sound card.  I have successfully used it with ich, maestro3,
es137x, and Yamaha DS1 driven soundcard.

Sorry I can't be of more help here.  Others may be able to confirm or
deny NeoMagic problems, and a gdb back trace may help the NeoMagic
driver people identify any locking issues.
