Works for me. It uses /dev/dsp by default:

parish:/usr/marko{55}% x11amp --help

Usage: x11amp [options] [files] ...

Options:
--------

-h, --help              Display this text and exit.
-s, --shuffle           Turn on shuffle play.
-r, --repeat            Turn on repeat play.
-b, --buffer <size>     Set the audio buffer size to <size> kb
-d, --downmix           Downmix stereo mp3's to mono
-o, --resolution <bits> Set playing resolution to <bits>
-w, --rew               Skip backwards in playlist and exit
-f, --fwd               Skip forward in playlist and exit
-e, --device <device>   Sets the audio device (default: /dev/dsp)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-v, --version           Print version number and exit.

Is your /dev/dsp a symlink to dsp0 (or dsp1)?

parish:/usr/marko{56}% ls -l /dev/dsp
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  4 Mar  4 21:34 /dev/dsp -> dsp0
parish:/usr/marko{57}%
