That's an odd error -- it sounds like you might be running 
Rosegarden-2.1, which is now rather antique app that uses OSS for 
sound.  These days you might get more joy from an ALSA-based 
sequencer, not least because most of them (Rosegarden-4, MusE etc) 
are far more sophisticated than Rosegarden-2.1.

I can't comment on running either of those under Knoppix, except to 
say that I'm quite certain Knoppix 3.3 uses ALSA.
