For what it's worth, I made that upgrade some time ago, and /dev/dsp
is a slimelink to sound/dsp. At some point, I did have to run alsaconf

You might be right, but that doesn't make sense to me. I'd point my
application to /dev/dsp regardless of the underlying drivers. Like you
use /dev/cdrom regardless of the actual CD-ROM, or /dev/console
regardless of the actual console, and so on.
