Comment (by iroberts):

 I have the same problem on Ubuntu 7.04 x86_64, and it was fixed by loading
 module-esound-protocol-tcp. Here is what I think is the relevant section
 of strace output when it isn't working:

 {{{

 socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, 0)         = 16

 connect(16, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(16001),
 sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection
 refused)
 close(16)                               = 0
 }}}

 So it looks like it can't find the unix socket (probably the Ubuntu issue
 you mentioned), but it then goes on to try the TCP socket. I have
 /tmp/.esd/socket, but not /tmp/.esd-1000/
