let me repeat the problem description:

when esd is not running (or when it was started with "-as 2" and has not
been used for 2 sec), emacs play-sound-file works fine.
when esd is running, esdplay also works fine.

but when esd _is_ running, emacs play-sound-file fails with


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy")
  play-sound-internal((sound :file "/usr/share/sounds/error.wav"))
  play-sound((sound :file "/usr/share/sounds/error.wav"))
  play-sound-file("/usr/share/sounds/error.wav")
