Ugh. Are permissions correct? If they are, it is likely a buggy OSS driver.
That could need a kernel upgrade.

If you just want MPlayer to decode things for you, you can use

mplayer -ao pcm

which will dump the output to audiodump.wav which sox should be able
to play.

OSS isn't an input driver. In any case, you do not need any
configuration files for MPlayer to work correctly.
