Could anybody please help on this? /dev/audio is not an OSS device at all. You should use /dev/dsp instead.
In OSS 4.x the vmix (Virtual Mixer) subsystem makes it possible to use the same device from different applications at the same time. Vmix is enabled by default for most of the devices. However with many "professional" devices you may need to enable vmix by using the "vmixctl attach ..." command. What does the ossinfo -v command show in your system?
