Ok... I tried with the FreeBSD version of raplayer and this what am
getting:

25677 raplayer NAMI  "/emul/freebsd"
25677 raplayer NAMI  "/emul/freebsd/dev/dsp"
25677 raplayer RET   open 5
25677 raplayer CALL  ioctl(0x5,_IOWR('P',0xa,0x4),0xf7bfd360)
25677 raplayer RET   ioctl -1 errno 22 Invalid argument
25677 raplayer CALL  close(0x5)
25677 raplayer RET   close 0

our audio device is not compatible with dsp. 

In any case I found NetBSD less suitable for building applications
using the sound devices. I tried NAS, Real Audio etc. to no avail.
These applications run on most platforms FreeBSD, Linux, Irix, hpux,
solaris etc. pp. but not NetBSD :(

For some reason we are not MultiMedia as yet ;)
