The things is, I ran snddevices when I did the original install. I think the can't find /dev/dsp message is more of a complaint about nothing functioning being there; /dev/dsp is a link to /dev/dsp0 for me:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 21 2000 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Dec 21 2000 /dev/dsp0 I presume the link itself is always there.
