lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     audio           9 Dec 24 20:15 /dev/dsp -> 
/dev/dsp0
and also I added my user in audio users, see a line from a file /etc/group:
     audio:x:29:someuser

This doesn't work, even like root. But I think that it is doesn't needed 
because 'nas' is
transparent to the users. I define two variable in the file 
'.bash_profile':
        AUDIOSERVER=tcp/localhost:8000
        LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/audiooss/libaudiooss.so
(obvious export theme from the file: export AUDIOSERVER LD_PRELOAD)
and then use the /dev/dsp like always without take care any more about 
'nas'.
  You agree ??.
