play-sound-file & esd

[Sam Steingold]

GNU Emacs 22.0.50.22 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2006-04-25 on quant8

when esd is running, play-sound-file fails:

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")
  eval((play-sound-file "/usr/share/sounds/error.wav"))
  eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)

is there a workaround?

thanks.
