mpg321, if alsa is in your USE flags, I believe will default to alsa (something in /dev/snd versus /dev/sound), hence you're not having the problem with mpg321. To iron out if the problem is with mpg123 or with /dev/dsp (/dev/sound/dsp), can your run something like "ls -l /bin > /dev/dsp", and see if you hear something? (assuming your volume is turned up.) if you do, then I would venture to say that the problem is with mpg123. if not then it would appear as though you have a problem with alsa and/or the alsa configuration files.

Does "mpg123 -a /dev/sound/dsp" work ?

Nope.  The only change is that now I get "Can't open /dev/sound/dsp!".
