I use devfs so the /dev/sound/dsp is created automatically for me. I had
also created the sym-link from /dev/sound/dsp to /dev/dsp.
Open failed doesn't necessarily mean that there is no /dev/dsp device or that
permissions are wrong. It can also mean that there's some error in the
device driver than prevents opening it (which is what is happening for me).
I checked all the obvious things...
