Perhaps esd is running and grabbing the sound device?

I have a similar problem with mpg123. Calling mpg123
multiple times (e.g. in a loop with a shell script)
until it works is an acceptable work-around for me:

#!/bin/sh
until (mpg123 "$1")
do
    sleep 1;
done

Of course, a solution would be better than a work-arond :)
