I found on BSDForums.org an explanation which describes
first using kldload to try to determine what driver you
need, and then it speaks a bit about compiling directly into
the kernel, but neither example show how to actually
play a sound --any sound-- as a test to see if it works.

A CLI example would be very handy.

Thanks!

The FreeBSD handbook has a chapter on sound configuration and testing.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

Look at section 7.2.2. You can cat a file into /dev/dsp to test that it is working.

If you want to play an actual mp3 file or something, check out mplayer or amp, both are in ports and are CLI apps.
