Hmm, /dev/dsp is only necessary for legacy OSS support...it should not
be necessary with KDE, which _should_ be able to use the ALSA
interface.  Do you have the alsa USE flag set?

What are the permissions that it is being created with?  (Do "ls -l
/dev/dsp" from a console after startup without logging into KDE).

I would suggest turning TARBALL off.  It is almost certainly not needed today.

One possibility is that the device is comfing from the tarball, but
not being recreated by udev for some reason.  You can check this with:

tar -tjvf /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2

Also, what messages do you get on bootup between "Starting udevd" and
"Mounting /dev/pts..."

Do you CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y or =m in your kernel configuration?
