You have to use OSS based sound code (so: no alsa). The error message is a
report from the FreeBSD kernel that there's no support for this ioctl. The
right support forum for this is emulation@FreeBSD.org.
So you have to find someone who is willing to
- lookup what this ioctl is supposed to do
- write code for the FreeBSD kernel to support it (I assume less than 100
lines of code needed, but I may be wrong...)
Bye,
Alexander.

You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on
the continuing viability of FORTRAN.
