Only natively[1], better fall back to "default" PCM. 4Front OSS on Linux (e.g.
oss4-dkms on Debian) likely has similar issue.

  $ aplay -l
  aplay: device_list:273: no soundcards found...

In-kernel ALSA (i.e. hw:X,Y) exists only on Linux, other systems are limited to
userland. OSS from alsa-plugins lacks support for MIDI sequencer,
selecting/enumerating devices and probably more. Unlike OpenBSD (sndio) we
don't have anyone actively working on adding OSSv4 support in ports/ tree.
