Did you set 

# Sound Support
device          pcm

If you built and installed a kernel configed with pcm, you only need
to have done a 

cd /etc
./MAKEDEV snd0

You said "mixer" works. If you have done the above, then you should be
able to type

cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0c
cdcontrol> play

and listen to an audio CD.
