As far as I know, the only sound-related app I'm running
simultaneously is gkrellm-volume.  lsof says:

lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*
COMMAND     PID    USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
gkrellm    5115 lconrad    8u   CHR  116,0      8704 /dev/snd/controlC0
python2.4 31669 lconrad  mem    CHR 116,16      8678 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
python2.4 31669 lconrad    4r   CHR 116,33      8609 /dev/snd/timer
python2.4 31669 lconrad    5u   CHR 116,16      8678 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
python2.4 31680 lconrad  mem    CHR 116,16      8678 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
python2.4 31680 lconrad    5u   CHR 116,16      8678 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p

How else would I go about looking for the nasty non-sharing app?
