Because you have "auto_spawn=1" in esd.conf, and default esd.conf not.
esound's changelog:
2006-08-07 David Schleef <ds at schleef.org>
* esd.conf: Turn autospawning off by default. Don't use
autospawning. It doesn't work, and it isn't possible to
make it work. esd should always be started from the session
manager.
