You can't use *any* long-term sound program if you wish to allow
short-term sound programs to directly access /dev/dsp.

The Linux sound device drivers aren't for client programs to access.
They're for a hypothetical universal higher-level sound multiplexer
program to access, and provide services to client programs.
