I just tried this: ls -l /proc/*/fd | egrep 'dsp|fd:' It lists all running processes but also lists the ones that have /dev/dsp open: ... /proc/26014/fd: /proc/26019/fd: /proc/26039/fd: /proc/26040/fd: /proc/26050/fd: l-wx--1 duanev duanev 64 Jan 10 13:53 10 -> /dev/dsp /proc/26051/fd: l-wx--1 duanev duanev 64 Jan 10 13:53 10 -> /dev/dsp ... Pids 26050 and 26051 both have the device open. From here a 'ps' listing will match the pid to the application name/cmdline. # ps ax | grep 260 ... 26013 pts/2S 0:00 java_vm 26014 pts/2S 0:00 java_vm 26019 pts/2S 0:00 /usr/local/netscape/mozilla-bin 26039 pts/2S 0:00 /usr/local/netscape/mozilla-bin 26040 pts/2S 0:00 /usr/local/netscape/mozilla-bin 26050 pts/1S 0:00 xmms 26051 pts/1S 0:00 xmms ... duane

I can't tell if this is the module load "device or resource busy" or if it is an application complaining. If it is an app conflict, was RealPlayer left running? I know that one hogs and hangs onto the sound device. xmms may do this too. Try combinations of apps to see which ones hog /dev/dsp. duane

[expert] mpg123 - device busy
I have a cron wake up call set for each morning, monday to friday, using mpg123. Friday it worked just fine. Then this morning (monday), there was no wake up call. Log shows an error from mpg123 - audio: device or resource busy. I have no idea what could be the source of this problem. Xmms and record both work fine, and anyhow mpg123 worked last week.
