According to /dev/sndstat, the driver instance for that card only supports
one playback and one record channel.

Correct. /dev/dsp1 implies you are trying to open the first playback
channel on the second sound card in the system. Since I highly doubt that
you have two sound cards, this fails. If a driver supports n number of
channels, they would be accessed via /dev/dsp0.n-1. There are sound drivers
out there, such as the SBLive driver, that support more than one playback
and/or record channel. I'm not familiar enough with the ES137x driver to
know whether it's the driver or the hardware that is limiting you in this
case.

There are various sound servers that act as a proxy for the playback channel
and allow multiple apps to connect to them simulatiously. Unfortunately,
they each require their own protocol that your sound app must be aware of.
