Usually the fix is to close all instances of Firefox until I find the

The alternative to above headaches is use alsa as much as possible, not
oss! E.g.,
- use aplay instead of play.
- install libsox-fmt-alsa so that sox (ie play) uses alsa interface
instead of oss.

The last time I tried aplay, it did not work. I don't remember what the
problem was. If I simply use aplay to try and play the file I get the
same error. I will have to power down the machine and try it again when
I get a chance. No time this weekend.
