Got in the same problem half a year ago. Some program was blocking the
sounddevice.

I remeber, there was a command. which shows, which application is just
accessing the sound device (dev/snd). Maybe someone knows the command
and can help here. I forgot the exact syntax.

In my case it was the application "timidity", which I just
deinstalled. Got no problems after it.
Perhaps this:

   lsof /dev/snd

Thank you for the hint. I tested it and the result was an empty list. After that I made a purge of timidity. In /etc and all its subdirectories I removed every trace of "timidity". All files and directories containing "timidity" in its name were removed. All files containing the word were edited, and the word was removed. After that a cold start (power off), but no difference. The computer is silent as in the space around us, so no forward step so far.
