Check if anything else has the sound device file open.
less /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/info
and look at subdevices_avail (at the end of the file)
If avail is 0, then something already has your sound card open.  (This might 
not be a problem, depending on the drivers/hardware;  e.g. My Intel HDA, w/ 
Sigmatel STAC9271D codec, shows 1 subdevice, and 0 avail when anything is 
playing.  It allows apparently unlimited stereo output streams (at 48kHz only), 
or a single multichannel stream at any sample rate.)

You can check what processes have the card open, with
lsof /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p

 I found audacity kept switching to using the digital output of my sound
card, which isn't hooked up.  But you did say you set it to Alsa
(default), which should work.

 Other ALSA programs work for you, right?  e.g. aplay, or mplayer -ao alsa, or 
whatever.
(check with lsof while the programs running to make sure it's opened the sound 
device directly instead of starting artsd or something)
