OK, but this is not exactly the same error. I don't know whether
this matters, though.

BTW, the error can also be produced by running two instances of ogg123
with the oss device (ogg123 -d oss): the first one works, the second
one gives:

Error: Cannot open device oss.

and earlier today, I got a segfault for this one too.

I've tried with valgrind, but didn't see any problem (and I still
couldn't reproduce the segfault).
