/dev/dsp missing

I think /dev/dsp is an artifact of the Open Sound System (OSS) which
has been obsoleted by the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA).
Perhaps the audio-players your daughter uses can be configured to use
ALSA instead of OSS?  Maybe you need to turn on OSS emulation?  My
laptop is running Gentoo Linux, plays sounds fine, and does not have
/dev/dsp.
