Comment(by coling):

 Hmm, seems something is odd here.

 By default pulse will create the /tmp/.esd-$UID variant name for the esd
 socket - e.g. it expects a patched libesound.

 You can disable this behaviour with a switch at compile time.

 So I'd look into that first.

 Your PA output also does not look like it shows any connection attempt
 from esdplay. Can you confirm that it does not even get that far? e.g.
 calling esdplay doesn't even make the output from PA change at all?

 After that I'd follow down the route of checking esdplay with strace to
 see what socket files it opens and what errors if any it gets when doing
 so.
