Hi folks,

Recently I've run into a problem where my sound will simply stop working
unless I reboot the system. This seems... rather silly to me ;-) The
error I get on the console is something along the lines of "Audio device
isn't good enough for Esound" (obviously I'm paraphrasing, apparently
this error wasn't critical enough to log so it's gone now that I've
rebooted... damn /var/log/messages.)

I shut down all programs I think could possibly be using /dev/dsp but...
unless I reboot sound won't come alive... any hints? 

Or, alternately, a way to restart all currently running processes
without actually rebooting the whole system again?

Thanks,

Erik.
