That means that some other program is using the soundcard (only one program at a time can use it). If you're running KDE then ARTS is a likely suspect and you can try running "artsdsp frozenbubble". Otherwise you can try "fuser /dev/dsp" or "fuser /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p" to find out the PID of the process that's using it. Someday the dmix plugin might be usable in which case this problem will go away. > Am I correct in guessing that an app like frozen-bubble is using > the OSS portion of Alsa?
