"Device busy" could also be a software mixing failure - there was a dmix
bug in ALSA recently where if an app closed and reopened the sound
device quickly, the second open would get "device busy".

It's fixed in alsa-lib 1.0.11, I'm not sure if the Dapper version of
alsa-lib has all the critical fixes since 1.0.10 backported.
