FC1: SDL sound problem

I have a FC1 machine that seems to have problems with games using SDL 
with sound. I get no audio for TuxRacer, Neverball, Supertux, when I 
start them from the menu.

However, if I open a terminal and type:

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsp

and start the game from the command line, then I do get the audio. 
(Thanks go to MatzeB on #supertux for helping me get it going!).

Is anyone else experiencing the same sound problem? I don't have this 
problem on my FC2 box, and I don't recall this being a problem on my FC1 
until just recently -- but I haven't tried playing a game in a very long 
time on this FC1 box.

Can I simply add export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsp to my ~/.bashrc?

Perhaps this output may be helpful:
[charshaw at localhost charshaw]$ ps ax | grep esd
15583 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 
-spawnfd 26
23351 pts/1    S      0:00 grep esd
[charshaw at localhost charshaw]$ ps ax | grep arts
23353 pts/1    S      0:00 grep arts

Thanks,
Clint
