That is what that libesd0 does: it provides the libesd API to the application 
and talks to pulseaudio (using the feature of pulseaudio that it emulates 
esd).  All the other libesd features are disabled.

It works fine for gpe-calendar and I am guessing it would work for other uses 
of libesd, although I have never tested that.
