    /dev/dsp is the the (old) OSS sound driver interface. If you are using
    ALSA drivers, then you will need to load the OSS emulation modules in
    order to access this device:

      modprobe snd-pcm-oss

    If you have this module loaded already but the file /dev/dsp does not
    exist, run the following command as root inside of the /dev directory:

      ./MAKEDEV audio

    If you have the latest "alsa-base" and "udev" packages from unstable,
    everything should be configured for you automatically when you start up
    your computer.
