I have explained this several times before.

Are you sure that you aren't running another program that has the OSS files 
open?

i.e. what do you get when you do:

 sudo lsof /dev/*s*nd*

It should be nothing...

If you have esd or artsd running and hanging on to the OSS sound files you'll 
have problems. Tell them to release the devices after they've been idle for a 
while.

hint: try running squeak under:
artsdsp (if you're running artsd), or
esddsp (if you're running esd)

another hint: if you're running artsd, try
artsshell autosuspend 10
artsshell suspend
