I would rather try to fix /dev/dsp. Somnething is wrong if you don't
have this device. Are you running the ALSA drivers? If yes, make sure
you have snd-pcm-oss loaded and you did run the snddevices script in
the alsa-driver sources. If you're running the OSS drivers you should
seriously consider to replace them with the ALSA drivers.

Just linking dspW to dsp probably won't solve your problems.
