I think, while absolutely true from an engineering aspect, there is
something to be said for /dev/dsp for lowering barriers of entry into
audio programming. Doing experiments like this was how I started doing
it, and it would be a shame to ever remove this option completely.

I'm a newbie to audio in linux. I can code in
C, and I know that
if you $cat /dev/dsp you can see your microphone feeding weird
shit into this sound device.
/dev/dsp and /dev/audio are OSS devices and almost never used
in Linux Audio. They exist mainly for compatibility with old
software.
