Also, run the following command, and paste the output back here:

sam:/home/sam# fuser -v /dev/dsp
 
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/dsp             sam       15313 f....  xmms
                     sam       15458 f....  xmms
                     sam       15473 f....  xmms
                     sam       15746 f....  xmms
                     sam       31703 f....  xmms
                     sam       31704 f....  xmms

That's showing a list of processes that have /dev/dsp open.
