Maybe you should try something simpler like mplayer or flac123/mpg321 for 
testing.

Are your mixer levels set to max?
The output of the "mixer" command should show vol and pcm at 100.

If this doesn't help, there's probably something missing in the driver.

Alternatively you can install audio/oss from ports which lists "M Audio Delta 
66" as supported. Note that you need to unload any sound modules first.

I usually run /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate if I want to force an update of 
the locatedb. See updatedb(8) for details.
