From your original error it does look like some application is already using the sound device, be that another application, pulseaudio, arts, etc.. And that is what is causing the game from getting access to the sound device.

If you have a multi-core/multi-CPU system I would suggest installing pulse audio as that will sit itself in alsa such that multiple devices can grab the sound device. Otherwise you need to figure out what application is using the primary alsa sound output and stop it from grabbing it.

You should be able to run this command

fuser /dev/snd/*

to determine what processes are accessing the ALSA subsystem.
