That's required for POSIX shared memory to work, and has been since 2001. > E: module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy > E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=hw:0 > sink_name=alsa_output.pci_8086_24d5_alsa_playback_0"): initialization failed. > ALSA lib pcm_mmap.c:369:(snd_pcm_mmap) mmap failed: Invalid argument > E: module-alsa-source.c: Failed to set hardware parameters: Invalid argument > E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-source" > (argument: "device=hw:1 > source_name=alsa_input.pci_1131_7133_alsa_capture_0"): initialization failed. Some other application is using your sound device. "fuser -v /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp*" which process is to blame.
