I have done some searching via google on the issue, however most of the results aren't in english, strangely. Anyways. I'd setup FC3 for a friend of mine. And I had connected to the machine via ssh (from my home). Well I was having a little fun. I was playing a few songs on the remote machine using mplayer. Suddenly mplayer gave the following message:
[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Nope; you're not on the console, so you're not using the soundcard. You _could_ use esd to do this, but it's a little insecure and kinda a pain. Esd would route the sound to your local esd, where it'd play on your machine. (Yeah, it's a kind of magic...)
You got me there. I can't remember if that message displayed before, when things worked, for the simple reason that it was working. But just to clarify, when I shh'ed to the machine, i'd run mplayer, and the sound would come out smoothly over the remote computers speakers. Now that functionality is suddenly broken. As in it was workign before. I have no idea what I did wrong :(
Perhaps your friend logged in to the remote machine, causing pam_console to set ownership and permissions of /dev/dsp to her account so you couldn't use it any more?
