/tmp/.esd/ will be removed by /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch, which runs every 
day, if it hasn't been accessed in more than 10 days.  You can change 
this behavior by adding

-x /tmp/.esd

to the first line of /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch, where some other files 
and directories are also exempted.  This should keep your 
/tmp/.esd/socket from periodically disappearing.
