[Bug 49279] Re: epiphany opens /dev/dsp exclusevely

[Sebastian Dröge]

epiphany itself won't use /dev/dsp or another sound device directly. This must be caused by a plugin you use.
Could you tell us which plugins you use except the flash one?

And it could very well be that the flash plugin uses /dev/dsp but
doesn't release it anymore. Whether your soundcard supports more than
one app using it at the same time or not is hardware and driver related
and at least for the apple ppc soundcards it's not supported at all
AFAIK.

If the plugin in question would use ALSA this could be emulated by dmix
