I found mine was still trying to open /dev/dsp with O_NONBLOCK... and used
this to whack it some more:
dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=665986 conv=notrunc
it's still a little touchy, dies out pretty easily if I get my machine
going busy (it's 2.1.125 SMP). But it lasts longer with that extra
O_NONBLOCK removed.
