I've had more success using 'lsof', as it will give you more information. 
'fuser' gives you the pid, 'lsof' gives you the pid, user and command.

[SLUG] /dev/dsp in use by another program?

2005-07-12 Thread Terry Collins 
I have a CM8738 sound card that I am trying to get running under Debian 
stable(sarge) for the Gnome Music to play internet radio sources.

The CD player works okay.

The problem is that each time I ask it to connect, it complains /dev/dsp 
is in use by another program. I don't think that there is a program.


So, how do I find out what program it thinks is using the device?
