Never mind, emixer does work, but it streams to /dev/dsp, which
doesn't exist by default on NetBSD systems. I'm guessing that nobody
else has noticed this because everyone has already made the symbolic
link from /dev/dsp to /dev/audio to run linux apps. Maybe the pkg
should either have a patched emixer that uses /dev/audio or the pkg
script should create the link from /dev/dsp to /dev/audio if /dev/dsp
doesn't exist.
