2010 /dev/dsp issues

I'm having some odd issues when apps try to use the oss emulated /dev/dsp
device in 2010. I didn't have any trouble with this in 2009.1.

The kernel modules for the mixer and dsp are loaded. But the apps always get a
device busy when trying to use them. I am in he audio group, which /dev/dsp is
too.

I did try padsp as a wrapper, but I don't see that inputting and outputting
sound at all.

Was there some change to how oss emulation is handled in 2010?

I have no idea what's hanging up the device. There shouldn't be any app using
it.

Ideas appreciated.

TIA
