I'm no pro at this, but I ran into the same thing.

I have a 2.6.x kernel and a working /dev/dsp (used for Skype - the rest of
my stuff is ALSAfied now).

Try: modprobe snd_{pcm,mixer}_oss

I think that fills in the brains behind /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer

I've heard something about sysfs format changes requiring a new udev -
perhaps you could try installing the udev in sid, if you've got an
older version installed? Note that this new udev will not work with
kernels older than 2.6.12, so if you downgrade the kernel you'll need
to downgrade udev as well.
