Specifically, if I log out and another user (visiting friends) log in, or vice versa, esd refuses to play. I find that doing a 'killall -HUP esd' as root fixes the problem. It's probably some sort of permissions problem, but I can't figure it out as the esound documentation is woefully out of date, and I am to lazy to look at the source right now.
