esound question (a bit OT)

[Bill Laundrie <frogking cyberdude com>]

This isn't exactly GNOME related, but I have a question as far as how do
I launch licq so that it uses esound?  I put a launcher icon for it on
the panel, the command being "licq | esdcat" but then I realized that
esdcat only works as long as it's getting a continuous audio stream.  Is
there another way to run licq (or any other program that gives off
intermittent audio) so that it can use esound?  Thanks in advance!
