/dev/dsp is the sound device driver. If some application uses it, another cannot
use it at the same time, as far as I know. If you are running KDE, the kde
itself is using it, so your app can't open the device directly. But you can try
to run your application like this:

$ artsdsp yourapp

Or otherwise you kan kill the 'artsd' daemon ("killall artsd"), (but then KDE
itself will not make sounds..)
