Methinks esd needs to be suid root as this is what I had to do. There might however, be another solution that I dont know about. If you make esd setuid root - sound will work fine next time you log into gnome. chown root /usr/bin/esd (I dont have it installed so this is a guess of the path) chmod +u /usr/bin/esd (from memory - man chmod) I suppose you could also try an strace on esd to see what it doesn't have permissions for when run as a regular user. I think it has something to do with creating unix sockets. I dont know much about strace so cant help you much there either.
