Never mind, found the doc I was looking for right after I sent the e-mail. :)
If anybody else is interested, here is the fix:

Cthugha - An Oscilloscope on Acid
---------------------------------

version 1.2:

    esd
    xcthugha --listen
    esdmon > /tmp/cthugha.com

NOTE: xcthugha may complain about:
Can't open `/dev/dsp' for writing. (16 - Device or resource busy)
No problem, keep on truckin'. esd gets the sound device, and
cthugha gets the data it needs.

version 1.3:
       
    mkfifo /tmp/cthugha.esd
   xcthugha --play /tmp/cthugha.esd --silent &
    esdmon > /tmp/cthugha.esd
