Wild guess:
Are you using alsa with oss emulation when running music123? If so, you 
might have loaded a kernel module that is registering /dev/dsp, thus 
preventing alsa from being able to access dsp for oss emulation.

If this is in fact the case you should see something like
unable to register OSS PCM device 0:0
unable to register OSS mixer device 0:0
in your logs.

At least I had this problem to begin with going from oss to alsa. In my 
case it was the module called audio (for usb audio) that caused me my 
problems.

Assuming you use alsa, I also believe you shouldn't load es1371 for your 
sound card. Alsa sound modules (all?) begin with 'snd_' (I suspect you 
should load snd-ens1371 instead, but I could easily be wrong).

If you don't use alsa, you can ignore this posting...
