Yea, I forgot to mention, but I issued the two following commands:

amixer set Master 100 unmute
amixer set PCM 100 unmute

> to get /dev/dsp to work you need to have the snd-pcm-oss module loaded.

I decided to give that a shot:
# modprobe snd-pcm-oss
lsmod returns
...
snd-pcm-oss            40196   0  (unused)
...

but `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp` still plays nothing

this is with /etc/init.d/alsasound stop (and then subsequent start):
