NetBSD the best thing since a poorly-designed chip whose instruction
set was bloated into the behemoth we all grudgingly have to deal
with today? Woo hoo!

(I case it weren't apparent, I'm a RISC fan. ;^>)

I have a similar problem on an IBM ThinkPad 760XL.

What exactly do programs which ought to be able to use audio say
after the laptop wakes back up again (if anything)?

As what is your audio device detected?

Does this happen all the time, or only some of the time (as is the
case with my ThinkPad)?

(Better to leave this on the list, as then any responses end up at
mail-index.netbsd.org, so the next person can search there rather
than asking again... a quick check didn't turn up anything related,
but I wasn't very persistant.)
