>Description:
	I noticed, I could not play sound any more:
		Can't open /dev/dsp!

	So I tried to check, which process may hold the /dev/dsp* or /dev/audio* using fstat:

		% fstat /dev/dsp* /dev/audio*
		USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W NAME
		%

	Puzzled, I decided to give lsof a try:

		% lsof | grep dsp
		artsd       105   anat   11u    VCHR       0,40 0x2372d3000       40 /dev/dsp0.0
		artsd       105   anat   11u    VCHR       0,40 0x2372d3000       40 /dev/dsp0.0
		artsd       105   anat   11u    VCHR       0,40 0x2372d3000       40 /dev/dsp0.0

	So, for whatever reason, fstat failed -- and needs to be fixed...

>How-To-Repeat:

	Use lsof...
