You should use the 'esd' SDL driver:

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd

Normally this is always present in the N8x0 environment, perhaps you
changed something or are trying to run your application from
scratchbox.

N8x0 uses a very 'specific' (to say so) way to output sound: via DSP.
So it's the /dev/dsptask/pcm/[0-3] device with some unknown API.
