I think symlinking /dev/dsp to /dev/sound* is done automatically? At
least I don't make links and:

sh@tatooine:/emul/linux/dev/ > ls -al /emul/linux/dev/dsp
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5 Jul 30 21:46 /emul/linux/dev/dsp -> sound
sh@tatooine:/emul/linux/dev/ > ls -al /emul/linux/dev/sound
lrwx------  1 root  wheel  6 Jul 30 21:46 /emul/linux/dev/sound -> sound0
sh@tatooine:/emul/linux/dev/ > ls -al /emul/linux/dev/sound0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  42, 0 Aug 21 07:56 /emul/linux/dev/sound0
sh@tatooine:/emul/linux/dev/ >

which corresponds to devices in /dev:

sh@tatooine:/emul/linux/dev/ > ls -al /dev/sound0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  42, 0 Jul 25 20:45 /dev/sound0
