One of the more useful things about esd is that it does multiplexing, it also
has a wrapper script for non-esd-aware programs:

[simon at hobgoblin sanbox]$ esddsp --help
esddsp - attempt to reroute audio device to esd

esddsp [options] player arguments

options:
-h, --help                show brief help
-s, --server=HOST:PORT    contact esd server on host at port
-m, --mixer               enable mixer support
-n, --name=NAME           use name to identify player to esd
-v, --verbose             show parameters
