 mplayer has the following code in configure:
 
 ---
 if test "$_ossaudio" = yes ; then
   def_ossaudio='#define CONFIG_OSS_AUDIO 1'
   aomodules="oss $aomodules"
   _real_ossaudio=no
   cpp_condition_check "$_soundcard_header" OPEN_SOUND_SYSTEM &&
       _real_ossaudio=yes
   if test "$_real_ossaudio" = yes; then
       def_ossaudio_devdsp='#define PATH_DEV_DSP "/dev/dsp"'
   elif netbsd || openbsd ; then
       def_ossaudio_devdsp='#define PATH_DEV_DSP "/dev/sound"'
       extra_ldflags="$extra_ldflags -lossaudio"
   else
       def_ossaudio_devdsp='#define PATH_DEV_DSP "/dev/dsp"'
   fi
   def_ossaudio_devmixer='#define PATH_DEV_MIXER "/dev/mixer"'
 ---
 
 so one possibility is some misunderstanding that
 NetBSD's /dev/sound was equivalent to /dev/dsp on Linux.
 (because /emul/linux/dev/dsp points to /dev/sound?)
