Dear friends:
This could mean simply that you have one instance of RealPlayer or
another audio application open and are not aware of it. So, when trying
to launch Realplayer or another application, you get a lock file.
This just happened to me: I had Real open on the task bar at the top of
KDE but had forgotten it was there. I went to ABCNews to watch a news
report on Real (in embedded plugin format -- really works!). Well, I got
the "device busy" error message. Went to the taskbar, saw that the first
instance of Real was open and running, closed it, went back to ABCNews,
click on the Play button on the embedded screen and, bingo, ABC News
from Jerusalem.
