IIRC you can use esd with any software that uses /dev/dsp output, by calling the program using the esd wrapper or something. I once ran winamp (with wine) through esd. or am I confusing it with esound ? I once read somewhere about the same capability in arts by using some wrapper - but can't locate info about it right now.
