Is the sound card in use?

I'm just wondering if there's a simple way (that could be used in a shell script) to tell if the sound card is in use (as in audio is being played)?

NAME
auplay - play a sound file to a Network Audio System server SYNOPSIS
auplay [-audio servername] [-volume 0-100] [-i] [-I] [-l] files... DESCRIPTION
The auplay program can be used to play audio data stored in the .SND, .AU, or .WAV formats common on Sun workstations and PCs. It is typi- cally used from shell scripts or command line procedures. If no filenames are given on the command line, audio data will be read fron stdin, unless the -l option is given. OPTIONS
The following options may be used with the auplay program: -audio servername This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played. -volume 0-100 This option specifies the volume at which the data should be played as a percentage of the maximum possible volume. The default is 100 percent. -i This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed along with playing the data. -I This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed instead of playing the data. -l This option indicates that a list of filenames is to be read from stdin. auplay will play these files after playing any files given explicitly as command line arguments.
