what version of esound are you running?  i'm using the non-free oss
sound drivers with my AWE32, for what that's worth.  you can also 
send the output of sox to stdout, and pipe that output into esdcat.
experiment with the format output by sox, and make sure the format
matches with esdcat.  let me know what other problems you run into.
