Humm, good question. I just tried this:
ls -l /proc/*/fd | egrep 'dsp|fd:'
It lists all running processes but also lists the ones that have /dev/dsp open:
...
/proc/26014/fd:
/proc/26019/fd:
/proc/26039/fd:
/proc/26040/fd:
/proc/26050/fd:
l-wx------ 1 duanev duanev 64 Jan 10 13:53 10 -> /dev/dsp
/proc/26051/fd:
l-wx------ 1 duanev duanev 64 Jan 10 13:53 10 -> /dev/dsp
...
Pids 26050 and 26051 both have the device open. From here
a 'ps' listing will match the pid to the application name/cmdline.
# ps ax | grep 260
