It's an ALSA FAQ - you must load the snd-pcm1-oss / snd-ossseq modules to use the OSS compatible devices. See the FAQ in the alsa-driver directory:
Q: Driver is working (mixer at least), but OSS programs says: Can't open /dev/dsp. What's wrong? A: OSS compatible PCM (digital audio) emulation comes as add-on module which isn't loaded by default. If you have modified /etc/conf.module as suggested in INSTALL, it should be loaded with kerneld or kmod. Check it - if this method for some reason doesn't work - you need insert 'snd-pcm1-oss' module manualy.
