Edwin,

There should be quite a few documents on the net describing /dev/dsp on
Linux (try putting /dev/dsp in quotes when Googling).  It's a relatively
new implementation in Cygwin, however, and apparently wasn't around when
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html> was written...
It should, most likely, be added.  FYI, /dev/dsp is a.k.a /dev/sound and
/dev/audio.
