Check if esound was autospawned and which process did that. Probably
that process didn't close the ACPI file handle prior to autospawning
esd. There are two ways to fix that: make the parent process
use CLOEXEC on the ACPI file handle or make libesd close all file
handles when spawning the new process. (esd uses a stupid mechanism
involving the -spawnfd parameter, you should NOT close the file handle
specified there.)
