There's another sense of this word that isn't captured in the current meanings, and it's one I've seen a few times.  For example, in the sentence 本校について説明した方が良さそうだな。 It's something like "would be good (to do)" or "would be a good idea"... I saw it defined on one web page as "sounds good" (as in "sounds like a good idea" not as in a pleasant audio experience).  If you understand my meaning, perhaps you have a good way to put it into words?  I don't feel like I'm doing a great job.

To be frank, I have trouble getting "easy-going" from it.
