That's easy:
% strace scan
[...]
open("/h/corbet/Mail/context", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
fcntl(3, F_SETLK, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = -1 ENOLCK (No locks available)
The fcntl() call takes a while to time out, then the program just
loops and tries again.

% getfacl /dev/snd/*
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/snd/controlC0
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
group::rw-
other::rw-
...and it goes on in that vein forever. Who is supposed to be setting
those ACLs?
As for pulseaudio, I have:
3312 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --log-target=syslog
3599 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/pulse/gconf-helper
