Nothing I suppose. I don't consider it impossible the notebook
manufacturer simply omitted this, since Windows does digital extraction
for cd playback by default these days.

That would be a bug in OSS.

You can set it as low as 1 second, which works pretty good in almost all
situations.

You can check if the device is really busy and what program has it open
by doing fstat | grep dsp. If that command returns nothing and ogle
still claims it cannot open the device, there's probably a problem with
ogle and OSS.
