I'm not sure how standard a tool it is, but "fuser" does something
like this as well.  It's in package "psmisc" on Debian and can be used
as follows:

fuser -v /dev/dsp

To produce output like:

                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/dsp             mantys     7156 f....  xmms

The -m switch is handy when finding what process is stopping a
filesystem from being unmounted.
