One such else can surprisingly be firefox: if you visit a flash site with audio (youtube, for example), the flash plugin will grab your soundcard and will not release it until you close firefox. Closing the tab or the window will not suffice, you have to close firefox at all.
I thank all for the responses. Fldigi seems to work when gMFSK does not. I have already tried shutting down everything but gMFSK (I think), and it still did not work. My latest wrinkle is that the T/R switch on my Omni has gone out, so I have no amp, and that is my next project. However, I will try one more thing soon. I will reboot, and try gMFSK as the first program after getting back into Linux. I strongly suspect that it will give me the same error message, but we shall see.
