Esound permissions issue

[Derek Martin <derek@ufl.edu>]

Since the latest upgrade of esound, esound-clients and esound-common (0.2.22-5) I 
persistently get the following error when attempting to play sound from a user
account (i.e. using XMMS):

Unable to connect to UNIX socket /var/run/esound/socket

However, I can play sound if I am su as root.  This problem is only since the 
latest package upgrade (0.2.22-4 was fine).

I am running Debian testing, with sawfish and a couple of associated libraries 
installed from unstable.
