Sorry, I joined this conversation rather late but, What are you trying to play the file with? If the program is trying to output via the oss (standard linux) sound driver, rather than specifically to alsa, then the problem is that you haven't configured alsa with OSS emulation, or, you've forgotten to load the oss emulation modules snd-pcm-oss is the main one, and snd-mixer-oss if you want oss mixing functionality too. This would explain your messages about /dev/audio and /dev/dsp (which are oss devices, not alsa devices, not being accessible). Hope that helps.
