I can see that that so file is owned by the libao package which shell-fm depends on. I'm not sure why you're getting this error. I've opened a bug report upstream here: http://github.com/jkramer/shell-fm/issues/issue/7

This isn't specific to shell-fm. It seems to affect any program using libao.
I'm attaching a small test program.
It's the example from the libao-1.0.0 source, with a one-line bugfix
from me.
Compile it with:

gcc ao_example.c -lao -lm

When you run it, you should see this same error message.

Confirmed. This is not a shell-fm bug. This is a libao bug.

I've moved the bug over to the main arch tracker in that case.

Should the esd plugin be packaged separately, as is done with the pulse
plugin? That would get rid of these errors on systems which do not
have esd.
