/dev/dsp is the digitised sound device, from `man pcm'

    [...]
    FILES
         The following commonly used symbolic links to real device nodes
    should be
         present:

         /dev/audio      Sparc-compatible audio device
         /dev/dsp        Digitized voice device
         /dev/dspW       Like /dev/dsp, but 16 bits per sample
         /dev/midi       Raw midi access device
         /dev/mixer      Control port mixer device
         /dev/music      Level 2 sequencer interface
         /dev/sequencer  Sequencer device
         /dev/pss        Programmable device interface
    [...]

To disable it you may possibly want to disable sound-support.
