Comment:
This is bug related to many many programs in Linux comunity. /dev/dsp till now
hasn't been handeld very well. ALSA introduced dmix wich allows users to have
esd/polyaudio/arts daemon running, but still be able to open old apps that
request direct access to /dev/dsp.

Now I'm watching movie inside Xine (with ALSA backend), mp3 in totem (with
polyaudio) and recording music with audacity (direct access to /dev/dsp). So,
this should be fine in Breezy.
