Receive sound error when starting VM.

Hi all. I'm running the latest version of VMWare Server on Gentoo with a Windows XP guest. I've added a sound device to the VM and tried both "Auto Detect" and "/dev/dsp". However, both options give the error "Failed to open sound device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy. Virtual device sound will start disconnected" when I power on the guest. I verified that /dev/dsp exists (it exists as a symlink to /dev/sound/dsp) and sound works in the host OS. I've also output /dev/urandom to the /dev/dsp device and that does work. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
