It's trying to open the ALSA device named "default" that would map to
device node /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p if you were running Linux.

Until ALSA has been ported to FreeBSD, you'd better use OSS.  :-)

I would guess that it could open /dev/dsp for writing but not for
reading.

Does the driver even support this?

You shouldn't get ALSA messages when using OSS.
