All I needed to do the entire time was to set permissions on /dev/dsp0! Thank
you to Kris, the simplest things cause the biggest problems. So for future
archive reference for those who might have the same problems, I have a Via82C686
sound card. Just follow the quick install instructions and use chown to set
permissions on /dev/dsp0 and you're set.
