Sorry to follow-up my own message.

I was not quite accurate....

I can cat .au files to /dev/audio no problem
With the FreeBSD raplayer3.0 I can listen to already downloaded .ra files
no problem
With both FreeBSD raplayer3.0 and Linux ELF rvplayer5.0 I get a cannot
open audio device when trying to listen to streaming .ram files.

I am running as root, all the nodes in /dev seem to be there and have
reasonable permissions.

# cat /dev/sndstat
