	AFAICS from a quick read of the source the audio device is
hardcoded to /dev/dsp (or /dev/sound for NetBSD) - presumably it fails
to open in mplayer because /dev/dsp is already opened for the audio
output. Try with -ao oss:dsp-device=/dev/dsp0.1 to force the output
to a different device.

	Charles Heinrich wrote the bsd capture for mplayer - he didn't
add support for it. It looks easy enough to fix though.
