Use the command `lsof /dev/dsp' to check if another process is already
sitting on the sound device.  If this is the case, other processes
won't be able to open it for themselves.  You have to either free the
sound device by killing the process that occupies it or share it using
the EsounD daemon and MOL's esd driver.

Regards, Jens.
