I've found the problem. I set the host to "localhost" if the ESPEAKER
environmental variable wasn't set, but this only really works if the esd
daemon is listening on a TCP/IP port on the localhost. If it is using a
unix socket instead then it won't work. Setting the host to zero instead
(the same value that you get if ESPEAKER is not set) seems to get esound
to connect to the correct daemon.

I've added the include to Esd.cpp.

I modified the Makefile.am to reflect these changes.

I'll try to write something for the intro in a few moments.
