I have seen evince hold on to the audio device - Though I have only seen
it after evince has been launched by Firefox - unfortunately it seems
that Firefox does not close file descriptors when it spawns helper apps
- hence if firefox has the audio dev open (quite often the case - e.g.
after using Flash etc) then evince inherits the open audio descriptor
and hangs onto it - even after Firefox is closed. In fact it happens
with any app started by Firefox.

It would appear that this bug has been reported on Firefox bugzilla but
not fixed yet??! See:
