Configuring ESD Plugin for VLC 0.8.1 on Debian

[rossmac]

I have the ESD plugin for VLC successfully installed (I think) into
VLC 0.8.1 on Debian Unstable.

VLC is running and I have enable the ESD plugin using the following
path

preferences --> output modules --> audio output module -->
EsounD audio output

What I am not clear on is where to configure the IP address of the destination ESD daemon?

The instructions on the lquidity reality sight say the following:
Place the following line in .bashrc
EXPORT ESPEAKER=<ip>:16001

Which I have done

I am starting the Esound daemon on windows with the following
command line:

e:\"a long path name"\>esd -tcp -public

When I tell VLC to play an audio CD located at the following path
/mnt/cdrom
VLC skips through the list of songs very quickly, pausing for perhaps
2-3 seconds on each song.

The CDROM device is mounted correctly. I can open the CDROM
manually and look at the list of tracks.

It is not clear that the sound output from the esd plugin is being redirected across the network as required.

What am I doing wrong?
