Nice, this did the trick!  I can't thank you enough.. what an annoying thing to have to restart my computer because I can't find what process is hogging audio.  But no longer..

cheers,
Rich

This can help:

$ lsof | grep snd

I often have to close firefox, and I sometimes kill dbus-launch and/or
dbus-launchd. I'm sure that's not a recommended solution, but it's
never caused a crash and it has allowed me to start Jack.
