Problems with ALSA and rdesktop

[Mark Phillips]

I have been using grdesktop (the gnome gui front end to rdesktop) for about 6 
months without any problems. Today, I installed alsa and k3b to burn some 
CDs. I now get this error while running rdesktop - 

/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

and my rdesktop window goes away. I am not playing any music when this 
happens. I restart rdesktop through the gui, and I am right back where I was 
working in the remote machine.

I guess alsa and rdesktop both use /dev/dsp? What can I do about the conflict? 
I have no idea how to even proceed to fix this problem.

Thanks!
