Just installed Deadbeef from software center. Tried to reproduce problem without success. Maybe another program is using a resource deadbeef needs?
Terminal output for working deadbeef launch:

That is likely the case. If something else is using alsa directly, then the device is in use. This isn't like pulseaudio where multiple sound applications can use the same sound device at the same time.

That's probably it. It works after I reboot. But if I open Opera and play youtube, deadbeef stops working again even after I close Opera.
