Hi,

Not even root can use my /dev/dsp file:

  nimrodel:~ # echo "Hello" | /usr/bin/festival --tts
  Linux: can't open /dev/dsp

  nimrodel:~ # echo Hello > /dev/dsp
  -bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy


Ok, it is busy, but by whom?

  nimrodel:~ # lsof |grep dsp
  nimrodel:~ # 

It is not opened by anybody!



I know that if I reboot it works. But i don't want to reboot. I do:

  nimrodel:~ # rcalsasound restart
  Shutting down sound driver                                        done
  Starting sound driver:  intel8x0                                  done
  nimrodel:~ # echo "Hello" | /usr/bin/festival --tts
  nimrodel:~ # 


and now it works! So, who on earth had my dsp that didn't show up in lsof? 
Another tool to find out?
