Maybe relevant:
This produces sound correctly:
$ aplay -vv -D sysdefault:CARD=PCH /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
But this not, even as sudo (and the error is similar to JACK one):
$ aplay -vv -D front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
aplay: main:830: audio open error: Device or resource bussy
This is the complete list:
