Probably 'esd' rather than 'oafd' is the problem. You can check that
by running 'fuser -v /dev/dsp'.

Have a logout script that kills esd. It _should_ go away on its own,
but in my experience it often doesn't. For example, my .xsession has
this at the end :
-----
#
# run the session
#
gnome-session
#
# do some last-minute cleanup
#
# clean up esd
ESD=`pidof esd`
if [ -n "$ESD" ] ; then
kill -TERM $ESD
fi
-----
-D
