Description:

I'm trying recently NetBSD V2.0. I noticed a strange thing: neither using
aumix nor directly in mp3blaster I cannot raise volume using right-arrow key
(aumix) nor ">" key (mp3blaster). I can only lower the volume.

It isn't any sound hardware-related issue, because I can raise the volume in
aumix pressing number keys (but only those from the top - not from numeric
keypad).

Typically the numeric keypad is initialized to send different codes while in (n)curses mode than when in command-line mode. That's the string given by (terminfo) smkx (termcap) ks.

There's an added complication: different terminal emulators treat the keypad differently.

And because of this is my question: both programs are using ncurses library
(installed ncurses-5.4nb1). Does the above mean, that I discovered a bug in
ncurses? Is the patch available?

no - what you appear to be describing is a feature of the termcap/terminfo
in combination with the actual terminal (emulator).
