 BTW, this does not seem like a problem a specific i386 so it's better
 to use a more generic category another time.

 I don't think you can do it like that... E.g. :
 
 [simon at zaphod:~] fstat /dev/dsp
 USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W NAME
 [simon at zaphod:~] fstat /dev/dsp*
 USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W NAME

 So, could you try to run fstat /dev/dsp* instead ? I would think
 something is holding /dev/dsp0.0 open.
