Hello!
I can't seem to get audio to work on OpenBSD 5.7:
After booting, "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio" makes the expected noise.
But any sort of audio player (be it aucat, xmms, or rhythmbox) doesn't
work. For example "aucat -i test.wav" just hangs without playing
anything. Furthermore, it seems to put the system in a different
state, even after killed. Now trying "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio"
again just fails with "/dev/audio: Device busy". On the other hand,
the system bell still works: "echo -ne '\007'" gives a beep on the
speaker.
More details below.
Thanks

Sounds similar to the problems I had. I was using KDE and the
notifications type sounds worked but no sound card was recognized by
Kmix. I gave up trying to figure out what the problem was and went back
to FreeBSD. FreeBSD recognizes the sound chip as a Realtek ALC887 and
the audio playback device under the music category is OSS.
