It looks like you are running KDE and another application (probably the 
sound server) has control of the sound card.

You can: suspend the sound server before starting blender:
artsshell suspend ; ./blender -w -d
Or run blender through the sound server (this might not work due to 
using ALSA)
artsdsp ./blender -w -d
