Squeak sound in Linux??

Hi,
    I can't seem to get any sound out of squeak on Linux using Debian 
3.0r2.
I'm using a 2.2.20 kernel, and although gnome sounds and cd playback
work fine, when I try to get sound out of squeak, all I get is a bunch 
of:

sound: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
sound: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
sound: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

Gnome/Sawmill are the only other sound-enabled programs running.
Can anyone help me fix this? I'm trying to set squeak up for my 
12-year-old
nephew to experiment with computer generated music.

Please respond to me by email, since I cannot seem to get subscribed to
the list - after several days of trying the subscription page, I still 
have no
response from the listserv :(

My linux config info is:

Sound card: Yamaha OPL3-SA3

OSS Sound modules:
      mpu401
      ad1848
      opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
      sound
      soundcore
