I think you need to configure your kernel to create the dsp related
interfaces since they're deprecated.  I thinks it's one of these guys,
but I don't have the kernel config menu or docs handy.

CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y

My udev rules have this:

$ grep dsp /etc/udev/rules.d/*
25-lfs.rules:KERNEL=="adsp*",                         GROUP="audio"
25-lfs.rules:KERNEL=="dsp*",                          GROUP="audio"

These are the devices created for standard ALSA.  Unfortunately, some
software still searches for the deprecated /dev/dsp as the sound
device.  Look in the kernel config sound section.  It's described in
there somewhere.
