GCompris uses SDL to play sounds until version 8.4. The default SDL output
depends on your distribution choices. You can configure SDL to output to ESD.

As you use a somewhat old version of GCompris, I strongly recommend you to use a
more recent version : lots of bugs have been corrected and new activities are
avaliable.

And all recent distributions are configured with ALSA dmix which allows multiple
software playing at the same time without an external daemon.
