My question is pretty simple : Can NetBSD really be used for a totally desktop usage (Go on the web, play some games (very few), listen to music or watch movie, chat with some friends (even with Mumble, why not) etc...)
BSD is more designed for servers but can they be used everyday as the primary computer for everything ?

Depends on how determined you are to learn.

I met a strange problem with the sound : it can only play one software at a time when FreeBSD can play anything... But they are both using OSS so I didn't really understand why.

Do you have a sound server like pulseaudio setup?
