How do you know that it's gnome? I think it should be esound that gnome is using. you could use
$esdctl standby
and
$esdctl resume
to release/cause /dev/(audio|dsp|mixer)
But if you start esound with
$esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2
It should let other program use sound device within 2 seconds after it finish using sound device.
