pam_console should be setting that up for you when you log in.

[mpeters at laptop ~]$ ls -l /dev/ |grep dsp
crw-rw----  1 root    root    14,  12 Jun 15 08:23 adsp
crw-------  1 mpeters root    14,   3 Jun 15 08:23 dsp
[mpeters at laptop ~]$ 

[root at laptop mpeters]# cat /var/run/console/console.lock 
mpeters[root at laptop mpeters]# 

I had that problem before when I was trying to use tmpfs for /var/run -
but something is disturbing pam_console from setting the permissions for
you.
