Found the problem: FSReadFork returns eofErr when the file is finished.
However, we check its return value for errors, and if anything but
noErr occurs, the reader thread aborts its current iteration. That is
bad, because it aborts before it can ever set the flag which tells that
the file is over (also, any remaining data which FSRead did return is
lost - so you'd not hear about to 4 seconds from the end of the file.
Furthermore, the computed data size was 8 bytes to high (I forgot to
account for the fact that the size of an (A)IFF chunk always contains
the chunk header & size fields, too). This is enough to make it work.
However, the end condition is rather fragile, so I tuned some other
things to be pessimistic (check for <= 0 instead of == 0, when eofErr
is encountered enforce mReadFilePosition == mFileLength). You never
know...
The attached patch fixes the issue for me.

- The other one dealing with the cdrom... the most likely place on an
OpenBSD system for a cdrom is cd?c, my mistake the first time.
