man esdcompat (1): PulseAudio ESD wrapper script
https://manpages.org/esdcompat
DESCRIPTION esdcompat is a compatibility script that takes the same arguments as the ESD sound daemon esd (1), but uses them to start a the PulseAudio sound server with the appropriate parameters. It is required to make PulseAudio a drop-in replacement for esd, i.e. it can be used to make gnome-session (1) start up PulseAudio instead of esd.

In order to get sound in your GNOME Desktop: You’ll need to “Enable software sound mixing (ESD)” from your Sound control panel. This starts pulseaudio (which has replaced esd). For new users, this is on by default. If you have a previous GNOME setup and have this disabled, you may notice a lack of sound. 🙂

Currently esd is explicitly started via gnome-session. In F8 we provide a compat script called "esd" that starts up PA. So, g-s thinks it starts esd, while it actually starts PA. This is OK, but this hard coded dependency on a binary called "esd" should go away. Instead PA should be started via XDG autostart or suchlike.

Pulseaudio has always been easy to configure, as it is intended to neatly replace esd. It is even easier to configure now. Just install the packages, run the command and presto. Before we can begin we have to install Pulseaudio in the first place.

Only reason I can think of is that you ran pulseaudio as root, or ran an audio-outputting app as root. In general, just don't run applications as root, only those few daemons in your DAEMON line. Allan-Volunteer on the (topic being discussed) mailn lists.
