Have you checked what it says? That /dev/audio exists?
Try: ls -al /dev/audio
You should see something like:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Sep 3 1999 /dev/audio
It's possible not all the device files are there. You should be able to fix
this by going:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV audio
Note that as listed above, only "root" and the "audio" group have access to the
audio device. If you want a user to access them, then one way is to add them to
the "audio" group. As root, edit /etc/group, and append the username to the end
of the line for the audio group.
