Adding to Stuart Henderson's reply, note that you can't mount /dev/sd2c. >From disklabel(8): disklabel supports 15 configurable partitions, ‘a’ through ‘p’, excluding ‘c’. The ‘c’ partition describes the entire physical disk, is automatically created by the kernel, and cannot be modified or deleted by disklabel. OpenBSD's fdisk output might also be helpful. > 2.

The only cases in which I've seen something more or less similar is on a MacBook, in which the OS powers off the audio card when it's not being used, which is very noticeable when on headphones, since they stop humming. The background hum you refer is almost certainly hardware related -- lookup "ground loop" on wikipedia or the like -- so the software is not (directly) at fault here. I'm guessing that the APM in Debian is powering off the audio card, which doesn't happen on OpenBSD, but maybe someone else more knowledgeable wants to chime in on that.
