Streams will play without the daemon running, samples will not.
Judging from libgnome/gnome-cound.c, samples are used for 
gnome_sound_play(), so you wouldn't hear them.  However, since this 
function just caches the sample, plays it, then frees it, the 
function should probably be converted to use esd_play_file() instead.
