Yup.  The "device busy" errors are probably caused by esd or something 
else (kaudioserver?) holding the sound device open.

To run an app through esd that doesn't explicitly support esd, run
"esddsp" with the real app command line.  So, to run the eMusic MP3
player, you run "esddsp emusic".

Esddsp does some funky LD_PRELOAD stuff to fake apps into thinking
they're talking to /dev/dsp when they're really funneling their sound
to esd.  Warning: esddsp doesn't work with everything; in particular,
apps that mmap() /dev/dsp have a hard time with it.
