I have managed to beat tracker into compiling (after swiping the 
soundcard.h file from my friend's linux system and a little fiddling).
However, I am having trouble making the proper devices to get tracker to 
work right. I had to make two devices, /dev/dsp (42,16) and 
/dev/sequencer (42,16). 
I took the major device number based upon the major number for my audio and 
mixer devices. It seems that if I don't have the minor of the dsp device set 
to 16, tracker reports 'error opening audio device'
When I do have the dsp minor set at 16, I get an 'error setting sample size'
BTW, this is all being attempted on a NetBSD-1.0A system...
