This element outputs sound to an already-running Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESound Daemon, esd). Note that a sound daemon will never be auto-spawned through this element (regardless of the system configuration), since this is actively prevented by the element. If you must use esd, you need to make sure it is started automatically with your session or otherwise.

TODO: insert some comments about how sucky esd is and that all the cool kids use pulseaudio or whatever these days.

Simple example pipeline that plays an Ogg/Vorbis file via esd:

gst-launch -v filesrc location=foo.ogg ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! esdsink
