esd has (or had at least - I've not looked for a long time) big problems with
how it processed audio. It has very bad mixing and rate adaption code for example
which can be problematic. It also has no synchronization API with X11 and no
good general synchronization facility.

Technically artsd is much better in these areas at least.
