MPD: closing oss device "/dev/dsp" due to write error

Hello, last night MPD stopped wanting to playback anything.

~/.mpd/error looks like this:

Apr 11 01:28 : oss: closing oss device "/dev/dsp" due to write error: Input/output error

The only thing I can think of that I've changed on my system is install VolWheel, which worked perfectly fine when I first used it.

mpd.conf

# MPD Configuration
music_directory       "/mnt/storage/Music"
playlist_directory    "~/Playlists"
db_file               "~/.mpd/db"
log_file              "~/.mpd/log"
error_file            "~/.mpd/error"
pid_file              "~/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file            "~/.mpd/mpdstate"
user                  "alain"
bind_to_address       "any"
port                  "6600"

# OSS output:

audio_output {
    type            "oss"
    name            "My OSS Device"
    device            "/dev/dsp"    # optional
    format            "44100:16:2"    # optional
}

mixer_type            "oss"
mixer_device            "/dev/mixer"
mixer_control            "pcm"

Don't have a clue what to do, so any help would be great as I can't do without listening to music!
