SOLUTION?
Maybe when you compiled the kernel, you didn't include the /dev/dsp support.
For some stupid reason it is not included by default, even though the help
sheet suggests that you should always include it.
Go through your 'make config' and double check it.
It's hidden away in all those sound configuration questions.
Just change it to 'Y' instead of 'N' and recompile.
Couldn't hurt, could it?
