37 (it become really fun to create Koans from problems! Nice
38 and positive way to walk down the way to the solution...<grin)

40 While it was calm and silent on the surface of the system and
41 the spirit of nothing moves across the face of the tasklist,
42 the ancient seer spake
43 lsof /dev/snd/*
44
45 and an echo from the far answered:
46 /root>lsof /dev/snd/*
47 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
48 volumeico 4231 mccramer 8u CHR 116,2 0t0 4554 /dev/snd/controlC0
49 jackd 6539 mccramer mem CHR 116,3 4555 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
50 jackd 6539 mccramer mem CHR 116,4 4556 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
51 jackd 6539 mccramer 8u CHR 116,2 0t0 4554 /dev/snd/controlC0
52 jackd 6539 mccramer 10u CHR 116,3 0t0 4555 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
53 jackd 6539 mccramer 11u CHR 116,4 0t0 4556 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
54 jackd 6539 mccramer 12u CHR 116,1 0t0 2052 /dev/snd/seq
55 [1] 15019 exit 1 lsof /dev/snd/*

57 And again the great Jack D. displays its mighty so that all follows
58 him and no one and nothing leads him.
59
60 A lone voice in system he is...
