Some additional information: The sound device is only stuck because
mplayer itself is stuck. An "lsof /dev/dsp" revealed an mplayer
process holding the device open; killing that process allows other
processes to access the device again.
Nevertheless this was not happening, or at least not happening
predictably, before I upgraded to the new mplayerplug-in.
