Not at all.  There is no /usr/bin/esd program!  I know it isn't on my
system.  That's also what the error message above says ("No such file or
directory").  This is one question I hoped people could offer
suggestions to solve.

I've been chatting with someone on AIM, and I just realized that I'm
hearing the little sound it plays when a message arrives.  When I run
gnome-sound-properties I can test and get a tone when testing "sound
playback" on the devices tab, but no sounds play from the "sounds tab.
I see "Enable software sound mixing (ESD)" is checked.  When I run the
Soundcard Detection applet I also get nothing.  But AIM is chiming away.
