If you do:
ls -l /dev | grep dsp
crw-rw-rw-  1 root    wheel       0,  38 Mar 10 00:57 dsp0.0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root    wheel       0,  41 Mar  6 12:43 dsp0.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root    wheel       0,  39 Mar  6 12:43 dspW0.0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root    wheel       0,  42 Mar  6 12:43 dspW0.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root    wheel       0,  44 Mar  6 12:43 dspr0.1

Does it look mostly like that?

If you don't have a problem there, it might be with
mplayer.  I noticed a minor update sometime in the
last few days, but I haven't actually done the update.
