Steps to reproduce the crash:
1.  Start Totem
2. Press play button
3. 

Expected Results:
Totem should play the mp3/odd/mpg/whatever.

How often does this happen?
Every Time.

Additional Information:

I have an nforce2 based sound system and I wanted all my sound to go to
spdif out.  All my system sounds and applications that used esound like
totem were sending their output to my headphones, but applications like
xmms with the alsa plugin would properly send sound to spdif.

I installed libesd-alsa0 and after that, all system sounds now go to
spdif and seem to sound OK.  CD player goes to headphones, xmms with
esound output sounds really distorted, xmms with alsa sounds fine. 
Totem crashes.

This is my asound.conf:
pcm.nforce-hw {
    type hw
    card 0
}
pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "nforce"
}
pcm.nforce {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1234
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,2"
        period_time 0
        period_size 1024
        buffer_size 4096
        rate 44100
    }
}

ctl.nforce-hw {
    type hw
    card 0
}

Here is my esd.conf:
[esd]
auto_spawn=1
spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -d default
spawn_wait_ms=100
# default options are used in spawned and non-spawned mode
default_options=
