gtkguitune does not start on hardy

Binary package hint: gtkguitune

After installing gtkguitune via apt on a 32bit 8.04 LTS gtkguitune has issues with the /dev/dsp device, since pulse-audio locks it. The program does not start and throws a console error:

initializing audio at /dev/dsp /dev/dsp: Invalid argument

Works flawlessly starting with "padsp gtkguitune".

This also affects Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. It does start with "padsp gtkguitune".
