Sure. I started the process as:

artsdsp -m et

et is a shell script (created during the installation) that changes the 
working directory and executes et.x86. Then, I attached strace to the actual 
executable (et.x86.)

I had to use artsdsp to run et, because it, just like everything else here, 
hangs when it tries to open /dev/dsp. Even dd if=/dev/dsp of=/dev/null hangs. 
Interestingly enough, xmms works without any problems via both alsa and oss 
emulation.

Strace reports shows this:
open("/dev/dsp", O_RDWR
and waits forever. While lsof shows NO processes. (Note: the sound issue is 
not new, I just tested 2.6.2-rc? and it was broken there too.)
