dsp is short for "digital signal processor". To have one of these devices,
you need a modern soundcard. My /dev/dsp is the interface to my emu10k1 module
driving my SBLive! Value card. At work, with a crystal sound card, it's a
symlink to /dev/dsp0 and interfaces with alsa.
What soundcard do you have?
