This is strange. Did you re-install or upgrade ?  The  device
/dev/audio is usually set up during the installation.

Did you confirm that /dev/audio  was not present,  before  you
took this step ?  In any case, you have no option  now  but to
re-make your /dev/audio.  A symlink to /dev/dsp  may not work.
I also notice that you have  annotated /dev/sound/dsp. This is
perhaps MDK specific ...

On my  Slack box, the /dev/audio and /dev/dsp  can be  created
as follows:

#makedev c  0664  root   sys  14  3  dsp
#makedev c  0664  root   sys  14  4  audio

Please note that the minor numbers vary. A symlink is unlikely
to get the correct kernel responses because of incorrect minor
number.

If you have MDK-8.0 somewhere,  check the major/ minor numbers
and create the device /dev/audio  using above syntax. In  case
you do not, re-confirm the major/ minor  with some other users 
of MDK before committing yourself ... my numbers will  NOT  be
correct for your system ! Also crosscheck on the ownership.
