Hello!
At first, here are some LOG files that may help:
dmesg: http://nicram.sytes.net/openbsd/dmesg.txt
audioctl -a: http://nicram.sytes.net/openbsd/audioctl.txt
mixerctl -a: http://nicram.sytes.net/openbsd/mixerctl.txt
My system is OpenBSD release 3.8 with generic kernel on AMD64
platform (AMD Sempron 2500+ 64bit).
Sound card that i got is Creative Labs SoundBlaster PCI 128 (4
speakers version on CT588 chipset).
The problem is that when i play music with Mplayer (on KDE using
GMPlayer) it works fine, tot he moment when KDE play some systems
sound (when warning window appear or something).
If it happend, them Mplayer can't play audio files & present error
windows: http://nicram.sytes.net/openbsd/maplayer2.png ([AO SUN]
Can't open audio device /dev/audio, Device busy -> nosound.).
If i will wait some time (30-60 seconds) then it may play again
without problems.
Ahh about mplayer.. Everytime i'm start gmplayer or whan i open
anything this message is appear:

Another nice thing is with XMMS. When i set it to use SUN audio
driver than same problem like with Mplayer appear.
But sometimes i may solve it.. by seting XMMS to use eSound driver.
But sometimes it don't help, but make XMMS freeze like that for many
minutes: http://nicram.sytes.net/openbsd/xmms-freeze.png .
I have made ps auxw save when it is freezed:

Other info that may help:
Using standard installation. KDE & all other software is installed
from packages from official FTP.
I thionk that there is no fullduplex support for this sound card on
OpenBSD.If i'm right the questin is: will it be done some day? or
there is no chance for that? (i understand that it's not important
for this OS).
Best Regards
