When you say /tmp/.esd(uid) what do you mean? On my system we use /tmp/.esd-uid/. This prevents one user from clashing with another (although that doesn't prevent malicious DoS by another user just creating lots of folder names - this is one of the problems with ESD socket path - we solve that in PA and now in systemd with some clever logic). Anyway, in the very old days, the ESD socket was just /tmp/.esd which totally sucked in a multi-user environment. Most distros patch libesound to make it /tmp/.esd-$UID but that's still sucky for deliberate DoS as noted above. PA has the option to emulate either structure of socket paths via configure switches. I suggest you ensure that your libesound and pulseaudio packages are in sync in this regard. As your distro maintainer to speak with us on IRC or via replying to this thread if you like. Alternatively, this problem could be simply that you are not using PID files and you're trying to start two pulseaudio daemons for the same user. This is not supported. PA is a per-user process. The user should only run one instance of PA. PID files typically prevent this, but this can be disabled. Either way something is not quite right on your system to be causing this problem and I hope I've pointed you in the right direction for debugging.
