Playback device is plug:front
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy

Ok, ... so the snd device is busy, because some other app has control and has not released control (at least thats how it looks to me). What is this "other" app? Please look for it.

Maybe run that sound test again, and while getting that error, type this in a second xterm/konsole:
lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/snd/*
