Created attachment 123121 [details, diff] Fixes the symptoms, but doesn't fix the bug The attached patch fixes the symptom of the blocked /dev/dsp device and technically fixes this bug, but it doesn't fix the real problem. I've contacted the author, hopefully we can work something out.
This will be fixed in the 0.6.10 release due shortly.
