One thing to try is to shut down/kill whatever process is holding the
sound device. Try using "fuser -v /dev/dsp" (or /dev/audio, or whatever
your sound device really is) (fuser is in the psmisc package) to see which
it is.
An the subject of sound, i've found esound to be quite useful--i can play
mp3s using the newest x11amp (the cvs version, not the debian packaged
(although it might work with some work)) and still have Licq play sounds
with esdplay.
