If you play audio using only ALSA, or ALSA + Pulse, you do not need this older interface. If your software requires the /dev/dsp interface (because it predates ALSA), you can try loading the snd-pcm-oss module. At least, that's what the IRC bot says to do. It also pointed me to <http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/NoLinuxDevDsp>, if that's of any help.
