More info:  

I checked the permissions of /dev/audio and /dev/dsp:
   0 crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,   4 Jun 13  2001 /dev/audio
   0 crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,   3 Jun 13  2001 /dev/dsp
I am in the audio group:
uid=1000(minton) gid=1000(minton)
groups=1000(minton),0(root),0(root),20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),50(staff),1006(tripwire)

esd was not running:
pidof esd;echo $?
1

as an aside, if gnomemeeting doesn't support esd, why does it
have the --espeaker option?
- --espeaker=HOSTNAME:PORT               Host:port on which the sound server
                                       to use is running

(from gnomemeeting --help)
