Err, no, this user's configuration didn't have a working ALSA at all.
dsnd_pcm_open returned ENOENT.  His other applications were likely all
using /dev/dsp, too.  However, since /proc/asound/version existed,
my code figured that ALSA was loaded and complained ("/dev/dsp? why
isn't ALSA being used?")
