I have the same issue, it's SDL_mixer. Where does strace indicate it's hanging

not SDL stuff. Weird!

Using "pure" ALSA, there is no /dev/dsp, you can only use this if you have OSS emulation compiled into the kernel (which you probably have). You must carefully check that no other sound application is running or using that device. So for example the artsd or esd will stop other programs from using the sound device.
