I tried to reproduce markus's solution, but it seems like I need to have Daniel's fixes as well as have the "esound-clients" package installed to hear sound.
I tried rebooting once, and the sound still seemed to work, even though the /tmp directory had been (automatically) cleared, and thus there was no /tmp/.esd directory. I then tried to remove the symoblic link fix for "libesd.so.1", but I lost sound. Even when I added back that symbolic link, there was still no sound. Only when I added the .esd directory back, did I get sound.
We really need some volunteers to come and confirm our findings.
