I'm having some weird esd behaviour as well. 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as the esound documentation is woefully out of date, and I am to lazy to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.
