Actually this is suspending, not aborting. aplay continues to run,
it's only sleeping after C-z.

Yes, this is the suspended aplay. artsd is probably not using 
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p but /dev/dsp0 directly. I don't know, if it would
show up in the user list for pcmC0D0p then. You might check for users
of /dev/dsp0 and /dev/dsp, too.

Well, aplay not starting (which is what "running for an infinite time"
means) is typically a problem with an occupied sound device. I would
be a certain amount that there's still something under the hood. 

You might also try to restart ALSA. If you have a full install, there
should be an init-script somewhere under /etc/init.d named something
with alsa (it's "/etc/init.d/alsa" on Debian, and
"/etc/init.d/alsasound" on some other dists.)

Try restarting ALSA with that like "/etc/init.d/alsa restart"
or "/etc/init.d/alsa force-restart"

ciao
