It is, unfortunately: $ sudo -u joe aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav & Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/login.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo [1] 7448 $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:802:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:533: audio open error: Device or resource busy Once this works, and dmix works for everybody, we can completely drop this sound daemon stuff, but until then we are nailed to them...
