Does mpg123 -a /dev/sound/dsp work ?
Nope. The only change is that now I get Can't open
/dev/sound/dsp!.
Well, my understanding (which may not be correct, but I /think/ it is)
is that /dev/sound/dsp is the sound sequencer created by OSS or ALSA OSS
emulation-- if OSS is not enabled somehow, you won't have it, and if the
app uses ALSA directly (and not OSS emulation), you won't use it (so you
won't notice it's not there).
The ebuilds seem to suggest that mpg123 uses OSS (therefore ALSA OSS
emulation), whereas mpg321 uses ALSA natively:

Interestingly, the alsa USE flag is commented out, but the IUSE=
variable contains OSS.
More interestingly, the mpg321 ebuild contains no listed dependencies on
/either/ ALSA or OSS (or any other sound server)-- which strongly
suggests that it's native ALSA, since that is enabled in the kernel by
default (whereas OSS is not), indicating that if your soundcard's kernel
modules load, mpg321 will work, since it seems to have no explicit
additional ALSA or OSS dependencies.

In any case, do you have ALSA OSS emulation enabled? This requires:
1) ALSA OSS emulation elements to be enabled in the kernel, including:
M Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
M Sequencer support
Sequencer dummy client
M OSS Mixer API
M OSS PCM (digital audio) API
[*] OSS Sequencer API
2) Your soundcard to be configured correctly in /etc/modules.d/alsa
3) the alsa-oss package (at least; there may be other associated alsa-*
packages necessary, but since I install all of them except alsa-driver,
I've never investigated which packages are actually necessary to enable
each area of the ALSA functionality).
If so, it _ /does/ _ work:
