It could be due to your window manager...I know that some 'enlightenment'
WM's have audio mixers that open /dev/dsp0 and keep it open.  There is
generally a way to do that within the WM.

Hmmm - well, the message is coming from the 'write' system call.  I asked
it to please open /dev/dsp0 (evidently it succeeded) - then I asked to write
to the device and it says it can't...it's gotta be that something in the
kernel thinks it's already open and being written to by someone else.
