I -think- you need to enable sound in one of the X managers, such as the
Window Manager. I have it working in XDarwin by running Gnome Midnight
Commander and telling it to turn sound use on:
gmc --enable-sound &
Though honestly I forget if sound was working before I tried that. I don't
think it was but could be wrong. In any event, with that command I get the
right daemons running that way:
% ps ax | egrep '\<(gmc|esd)\>'
5049 ?? S 0:25.53 gmc --enable-sound
5065 ?? Ss 2:28.78 esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnpid 5052
You might be able to run that second line manually... *shrug*
