do you have it installed?  gnome programs love to start all kinds of
little daemons and such all on their own, esd is one of them.  even if
you don't use gnome as your desktop environment/windowmanger if you
start almost any gnome program it will launch all sorts of other little
things.  

that still does not explain how that file ended up in / though.  do
you run any gnome programs as root?  (an evil practice IMO)
