I don't know - I used to get errors like that before I started using
PA when one program had not released the sound hardware before
another program tried to use them. (The exact wording depends on the
program generating the error message.)

Dumb question - can you add a null audio device in Alsa like you can
with PA to send the output to the bit bucket?
