If you get a different error the first time, this is a known bug in the
dmasound driver: it breaks when opened for writing, you have to unload
the module and load it again.

Now quake2 doesn't actually need to write to the sound device, so the
code could be changed to only open it with O_RDONLY, but it still
wouldn't work (at least not well) with dmasound for various reasons.
Sound works perfectly here with sdlquake2 though.
