Are you running artsd (like with KDE) or esd (like with Gnome)?
These hold the port open.

Try 
$ /usr/sbin/lsof | grep dsp
artsd     1134  ned    7w   CHR       14,3             192759 /dev/dsp

If you're running artsd, run Squeak like this:

artsdsp squeak ...

If you're running esd, run Squeak like this:

esddsp squeak ...
