Yes, as I have discovered after, the problem was exacly this: the module is 
not automatically loaded at boot or when I start X, even if I have put the 
line 'exec  esd -public -tcp -port 160001 &' in my .xinitrc.
After I load it manually as you described and I launch esound, everything 
seems to work. Now I am curious to know why the module is not automatically 
loaded, and if this is normal.
Thanks,
