I found a better fix for this problem in Hardy than creating a link,
especially since I couldn't get the link to be created early enough to
play the Gnome startup sound. For any Hardy user who is having this
problem, try changing the line in /etc/pulse/default.pa that says:

load-module module-protocol-esound-unix

so that it says:

load-module module-protocol-esound-unix socket=/tmp/.esd/socket

This at least provides a temporary fix for the problem until a fix is
officially released for Hardy. A big thank-you goes out to the people in
the #pulseaudio IRC channel for this fix.
