Xmmixer works on NetBSD and is include in pkgsrc, the packaging system for third party applications. The NetBSD kernel audio and MIDI APIs are very similar to OSS, and there is a wrapper that provides an OSS compatible version of the API. I believe the APIs are similar in OpenBSD and FreeBSD. Xmcd by the same author as Xmmixer also works on NetBSD, as it uses simple ioctl() calls to interact with a CD-ROM drive. > > I was suggesting Motif applications that could be used with CDE, not > applications that should be included in CDE.

The original author's web page for it has disappeared, but I think the last version was 3.1.5 and that source can be found elsewhere on various FTP sites.
