As Oliver says, if you are using the usual totem setup totem-gstreamer,
then gstreamer should respect the ESPEAKER env var and play to the thin
clients esd (rhythmbox also uses gstreamer and it happens then). If you
go to a command line and type:
apt-cache policy totem-gstreamer totem-xine
you should get a list of the available versions of both with a ***
beside the version that is installed. Can you tell us for certain which
is installed? If it's totem-xine, try: "aptitude install totem-
gstreamer" and see what happens after it removes totem-xine and installs
totem-gstreamer.
Actually totem-xine should _probably_ work with esd too. Xine's README
says that "If you want to send the sound over a network with ESD, set
the ESPEAKER environment variable before starting xine." which should,
you'd think, follow for totem-xine.

On something of a tangent, if you currently have totem-gstreamer, it
would be of more than passing interest to find out if totem works
through esd with totem-xine installed. totem-xine is not supported as
Ubuntu tries to use gstreamer for everything but personally the first
thing I do on Ubuntu desktops is change over to totem-xine which seems
to me to work better.
I'll try and get an edgy thin client test setup here at home in the next
few days. This stuff obviously needs more testing.
