How is your kernel configured? Did you build it yourself? Is dmasound_pmac
(I think that's it) loaded or compiled in?
What are the permissions on /dev/audio*, /dev/dsp* and /dev/mixer* ? Can you
send us an ls -l?
Is they're group-writable only, is the user you're trying to use in that
group?
Tried cat /dev/urandom >/dev/audio as root?

Audio hardware.
> /dev/dsp
> /dev/mixer (Kinda know what this is.)
Published by your mixing software - alsa or esound. These daemons open
/dev/audio exclusively and publish a nicer interface (that can't be locked,
more or less) thorugh the above points.
