+ * This element outputs sound to an already-running Enlightened Sound Daemon
+ * (ESound Daemon, esd). Note that a sound daemon will never be auto-spawned
+ * through this element (regardless of the system configuration), since this
+ * is actively prevented by the element. If you must use esd, you need to
+ * make sure it is started automatically with your session or otherwise.

+ * TODO: insert some comments about how sucky esd is and that all the cool
+ * kids use pulseaudio or whatever these days.
+ * </para>
+ * <para>
+ * Simple example pipeline that plays an Ogg/Vorbis file via esd:

+ * gst-launch -v filesrc location=foo.ogg ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! esdsink
