How do i tell which is the "right" one? I have tried all three. I think
ESD should be correct. Multimedia systems selector indicates that ESD is
the default sink and responds correctly when tested.

I tried running freeciv from bash. Interestingly i can play inho2.ogg
etc. in Totem. Is there anything i can do to troubleshoot?
