kind of worked:

mech-anton242# dmesg|grep pcm
pcm1: <Acer Labs M5451> port 0x900-0x9ff mem 0x100000-0x100fff at device 8.0 on pci0
pcm1: <Analog Devices AD1881A AC97 Codec>
pcm1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm1: [ITHREAD]

mech-anton242# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/sparc64)
Installed devices:
pcm1: <Acer Labs M5451> at io 0x900 irq 1956  [GIANT] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex default)

and 'ls -al > /dev/dsp' produces some sound,
however, playing a cd with cdcontrol gives only
perfect silence:

cdcontrol> status
Audio status = 17<playing>, current track = 1, current position = 0:25.05
No media catalog info available
Left volume = 255, right volume = 255
cdcontrol>

The volume is max (I think) and no other obvious problems.

How can I debug this further?

many thanks
