Thanks for your reply, but as I posted in my original message, I do have all the appropriate snd-xxx-oss emulation modules installed, and I also have the Alsa OSS emulation libraries installed. The /dev/dsp device node does exist. However, I cannot get OSS apps to work unless I invoke them with the aoss wrapper. This is somewhat inconvenient but at least I have a way of getting these apps to work again (which is most important for me for the esound daemon, which segfaults for me when I try to use it in native Alsa output mode).
