And, if you are masochistic, there's always PulseAudio. (Although you may get lucky and find it's not available for OBSD.)

OpenBSD comes with an interesting networking tool called
OpenSSH and a built in audio server
aucat 
Combination of those two tools is enough for secure VoIP

let alone playing little bit music over the network. Since it is redundant NAS has never been ported to OpenBSD. However an earlier tool called rplay
http://openports.se/audio/rplay
has been ported at the time aucat didn't have server capabilities.
Somebody has actually wasted time porting PulseAudio to OpenBSD couple years ago just to discover that only OpenBSD developers have CVS privileges to OpenBSD ports tree. PulseAudio has never been committed to OpenBSD ports tree
