It's been a long time, but I finally rebooted that machine, and all that that command gave me was: ---- root@shack:/home/n7dr# fuser -v /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp/* Specified filename /dev/dsp/* does not exist. root@shack:/home/n7dr# ---- As usual the first attempt to open hw:0,0 failed with the "Device or resource busy" message, and subsequent attempts to open it worked fine.
