You may want to try changing your actual binary "call"
to a script "wrapper" that calls artsdsp /path/to/binary.
The artsd sound daemon grabs hold tightly to the /dev/dsp
device, as pointed out by Mr. Geiser. Anyway, I've had
quite a bit of success with applications that try to use
the sound device and wait-wait-wait-wait for a sound daemon
to release it. Gnome uses esd, I think. The "wrapper" for
it is esddsp, if my memory serves. Rambling here, but
either artsdsp /path/to/binary/that/uses/sound
or
esddsp /path/to/binary...
