I can't get sound on my new XPC :-(

I am using Debian Sarge with Kernel 2.6.7.  I am trying to work with
ALSA.

Everything seems to check out fine.  alsamixer does the right thing. 
The /proc/ files show me the information I expect to see, but when I try
and play something I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1155:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy

** WARNING **: alsa_setup(): Failed to open pcm device (default): Device
or resource busy

Which I guess means that snd_pcm_hw_open thinks that /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
is being used by something else.

... but what?  How can I find out what is already using my sound device?
- or perhaps I'm just seeing a symptom of another problem?

Guidance from the wise would be appreciated.

Thanks,
        Bruce
