The ALC888 chip supports 44.1/48/96/192 kHz, but that's not necessarily a show stopper. > On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 10:09 PM, Tracy Bales <balestr...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> I'm running OpenBSD 5.0/i386.

Unfortunately the error message is a bit vague, the program doesn't really tell the reason of the failure. In general you're most likely best of by not using these audio devices directly. Try running aucat(1) as a daemon (e.g.: aucat -l), this would also take care of sample rate conversions. (usually automatically) To have aucat start up at boot time you'll need at least an empty "aucat_flags=" in your rc.conf.local file. I don't know gpsk31 and whether it has been converted to use OpenBSD's libsndio, but I reckon it has, otherwise you're probably out of luck. If it has, you should be able to use sndio(7) device names. (e.g. aucat:0 i.o. /dev/audio) I also advise to read the mentioned man pages.
