I seem to recall a linux command line wave player -- wavp, or
waveplay, or something like that? Does that ring any bells with
anybody?
Alternatively, has anyone tried to build the *bsd audioplay package on
linux?
Last time I needed to play a wav, I just used cat. I think it was to
/dev/audio or /dev/dsp, I forget which.
They both work here, but /dev/dsp produced much clearer sound than
/dev/audio. The one thing to note with this method, however, is that
gsm encoded .wav files, which are much smaller (and therefore good for
speech, but maybe not for music) do NOT work when just catted to
/dev/dsp or /dev/audio. They also do not work with aplay from the alsa
packages, but play, from the sox package works just fine with them.
