Sorry about charset mapping ..

I suggest asking this (interesting) question in either or both of
freebsd-jail@freebsd.org and freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org .

I'm vaguely wondering if you could use port audio/jack for this, but 
I've only used that on Linux, and that with ALSA .. but I expect you 
should find some help from the habitual denizens of those lists.

cheers, Ian
