It's generally a poor idea to try to record whilst also using software mixing. Furthermore, many onboard sound modules are half-duplex, in that whatever is being recorded will also be played, and vice-versa, possibly causing unwanted noise in the recording. esound 0.2.36-3ubuntu3 changed the timeout to 1 second, so if all other audio-using applications are quit, esd should exit sharply, allowing initialisation of audacity.
The real fix is to have audacity use ALSA, and while this is underway upstream, it is not yet complete.
