 Following http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#ESOUNDApplications,
 on Debian GNU/Linux sid with pulseaudio 0.9.8: The daemon seems to work, I
 can stream music with Audacious to another machine or play it locally, as
 it should be, the module-protocol-esound-unix is loaded, the sockets
 exist:

 ls -l /tmp/.esd*
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 greve greve    9 2007-12-11 11:44 /tmp/.esd-1000 -> /tmp/.esd
 /tmp/.esd:
 total 0
 srwxrwxrwx 1 pulse pulse 0 2007-12-11 11:07 socket

 but xine -A esd fails to start with the error message:

 audio_esd_out: connecting to esd server...
 audio_esd_out: can't connect to <default> ESD server: Success
 load_plugins: failed to load audio output plugin <esd>
 main: audio driver <esd> failed

 (verbosity turned up) -- strace shows the following end:

 So it looks like it tries to open the correct socket and the socket has
 correct permissions to allow connection, but it still fails.

 Help appreciated -- if you need more info, just ask.
