Thanks for you help but it doesn't work. I had to reconfigure
/usr/pkgsrc/audio/sox so that it's compiled with --with-oss-dsp,
LDFLAGS+=-lossaudio and patch oss.c to use <soundcard.h>. Now, either
sox says 'device busy' or the application says 'device busy'. I've tried
it with /dev/{dsp,audio,sound} although they are all sym-links to
/dev/audio0 without any success. Did it really work for you or did you
extrapolate that from man sox? Maybe this depends on the soundcard but
mine (CMI8738) is full-duplex capable. Though this isn't really about
full-duplex because I don't want to record the sound output from the
speakers.
