This works for me:-

# auvoxware -aa &	# Starts the server - only need do this once!
# audemo -audio tcp/localhost:8000 /dir/with/au/files/in

Does your sound card work when you do

$ cat somefile.au > /dev/audio

If not, then something isn't configured properly. Make sure you've
recompiled your kernel with support for the sound card and done

# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV sb0

as root to create the SoundBlaster device files.
