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.
