In lists.freebsd.multimedia you write:

Hmm, do you hear anything if you do something like

	cat /usr/local/share/sounds/train.au >/dev/audio

I'm certainly hearing sound here when I do 

	(play-sound-file "something.au")

on my xemacs-20.4. I've compiled it from source tho instead of 
using the package. You could try that as well.

I guess it should try to use /dev/audio. /dev/speaker isn't configured
by default.
