(Get the code!)
I have seen evince hold on to the audio device - Though I have only seen it after evince has been launched by Firefox - unfortunately it seems that Firefox does not close file descriptors when it spawns helper apps - hence if firefox has the audio dev open (quite often the case - e.g. after using Flash etc) then evince inherits the open audio descriptor and hangs onto it - even after Firefox is closed. In fact it happens with any app started by Firefox.
It would appear that this bug has been reported on Firefox bugzilla but not fixed yet??! See: https:/
