can't help you on the sound issue, but if you want to play alone:  "set debug1 1" or "cvar_set debug1 1" in console (depends on ingame or rcon console).

The error means something is using your sound device. It is most probably a software mixer (allows you to play sounds in multiple applications at the same time) such as esd.

try:

killall esd

in a terminal and see if that helps.
