You could just get a sound card the supported multiple opens and this
would never happen to you again. I use a sblive with the oss emu10k1
driver. It works great, supports multiple opens and I never, ever have an
issue where something wont play sound related to /dev/dsp being locked.
ALSA works great with it also. You can have esd, artsd and regular oss
programs running all at once. Itsa nice card and the value editions are
downright cheap. Plus they're really easy to setup. You dont usually need
anything other than insmod.
Oh, and you can finally do some environmental audio with them now.
Just an option. Sometimes its less hassle to just buy your way out of a
problem.
