Hi,

I don't know about kscd, but kaffeine most probably is configured to use xine 
engine. If so, you can set xine to use ESD as output plugin. Start Kaffeine, 
select Settings -> xine Engine Parameters -> audio tab -> driver.

Kaffeine may be using gstreamer as engine. I have never used that one and have 
no idea if it can be configured to use different output driver.

Best regards.
