I believe Debian is setup to create those OSS compatible devices
whenever possible.

In any case, it's not just /dev/dsp that is missing.

If I do for instance `aplay -l', I just see the my internal card:

    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel
    82801DB-ICH4]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 4: Intel ICH -
    IEC958 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - IEC958]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So, it appears to me that I need to do something else to activate the
device.

This page talks about a `usx2yloader' that I should run:

I've installed it and ran it, but it doesn't seem to find the device
either:

    $ sudo usx2yloader
    usx2yloader: no US-X2Y-compatible cards found

(Yes, I've tried to do the fxload stuff above it manually, too.)
