Any hints on using NAS audio?

[Peter S Galbraith <galbraith@mixing.qc.dfo.ca>]

No sound comes out when I do:

 auplay /usr/lib/tkdesk/sounds/halt.au  

This is my first attempt at using NAS or playing any sort of 
audio file.  My kernel is compile with proper support for my
sound card, as well as /dev/audio support.

I have installed nas, and the deamon is running:
root       116  0.0  0.5   944   360  ?  S     11:28   0:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/au 

I can play CDs, but nothing comes out when I play audio files with auplay.
I also trying `bplay', and catting the file to the audio device:

# bplay /usr/lib/tkdesk/sounds/halt.au
bplay: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

# cat /usr/lib/tkdesk/sounds/halt.au > /dev/dsp
bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

# cat /usr/lib/tkdesk/sounds/halt.au > /dev/audio
bash: /dev/audio: Device or resource busy 

Any hints?
Does the fact that CDs play mean that audio files should also?  Or is
could my sound card still not be correctly setup?
