If you are running Gnome, fire up Gnome Control Center, select
Multimedia -> Sound (on the left side), check 'Enable sound server
startup', and restart gnome (log out and then back in).
If you aren't running Gnome or KDE, you have to run esd from your
~/.xsession file. Example:
/usr/bin/esd &
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment
I can't give you the details for KDE, since I don't use it, but it
should be similar to Gnome, if supported.

According to the documentation, there are only few apps supporting esd.
It seems, that the rest is directing its audio output to /dev/dsp :((

Same here.
