[ale] sound card blocked

[jojerose at mindspring.com (Jeff Rose)]

Something is holding my soundcard making it impossible to play
anything.  I can't figure out what it is with 'ps -ef'.  Is there any
way to find out what process has control of the card?  I've had this
happen before.  Logging out won't free it but I know rebooting will. 
Surely there is a way to free it without rebooting tho.  Thanks
