/dev/dsp missing in Wheezy

I want to throw out another problem I am having in this Wheezy upgrade: sound!
I used to use ALSA with Squeeze, no problems.
After the upgrade, I am able to get sound in my browser, I can play MP3 files, but I can't record and can't play wav:
$ mpg321 radio.mp3
(works fine)
$ bplay radio.wav
bplay: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
$
I am not sure how to debug this one. I tried loading the oss-compat package, and that hasn't changed things either. What could have happened in the Squeeze->Wheezy upgrade to get rid of /dev/dsp?

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I have to load the snd_pcm_oss

and snd_mixer_oss modules with modprobe to use mp3blaster. I'm not
familiar with bplay but maybe it needs those modules too.

Funnily enough, I was just reading up on sound in Linux. /dev/dsp is the

OSS emulation provided by ALSA
http://alsa.opensrc.org/OSS_emulation
bplay's code appears to have been written in '98 so probably OSS.
Options would be to review the url above to see what else you've missed
or switch to a newer player.
