Not the same card, but I have ens1371 (SB16 PCI), and with alsa I have to modprobe- rmmod -modprobe ens1371 to get /dev/dsp. When the module is initially loaded, devfsd does not generate the device file! Reported as bug, but no fix in sight.
No problem using OSS, however.
HTH,
Well, doesn't that modprobe sequence actually load the OSS module and not the alsa module? ... that is why /dev/dsp was created I assume.

To be more exact, snd_ens1371, which is the alsa module. The problem is real and alsa, I assure you.
Yes, I know the problem is real ... it has hit me. But you mentioned that the fix [for you] to get /dev/dsp is to: modprobe- rmmod -modprobe ens1371 and that would load the OSS (default in the 2.4 kernel) and that does create /dev/dsp. I have tried unloading alsa and loading the OSS version, emu10k1, and I get /dev/dsp. Upon unloading it and reloading the alsa modules, the device again disappears.
