Mine looks rather different:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jun 16 06:59 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0
crw------- 1 eben root 14, 3 Jun 16 06:59 /dev/dsp0
[eben@pc tmp]$ groups
eben disk lp dos graphics modem sndadm
I'm using ALSA under 2.4.26. The only significant difference I can see is
that my dsp0 is owned by me (I'm currently logged in at the console),
whereas yours is owned by root.
I'd say, make /dev/dsp temporarily rwxrwxrwx/you.you, then clamp down on
restrictions step by step. If it doesn't work with rwxrwxrwx/you.you,
it's not a permissions problem.
