For WAV files, the play command from the port audio/sox is fine.
I think it's a bit "heavy" to employ mplayer for this simple job.

If you want to find this out, just check the configuration files
of Pidgin and grep for "wav" or "mp3", you'll find where the files
come from.

Of course not, it doesn't belong to the operating system. :-)
You can simply "pkg_add -r sox" to get this program.

The sound volume doesn't depend on the player. If the files
are "weak", it may be useful to increase their audio level.

And you're sure that the audio isn't loud enough everywhere?
Maybe the output level of your sound card - or nowadays a
built-in sound card emulation through the CPU :-) - hasn't
enough power for your speakers. (I don't have such trouble,
I use a system with a separate amplifier.)

So it really seems to be that
a) Pidgin uses strange mixer settings on its own
b) the files that Pidgin plays are too "weak" in
terms of audio level.

This is because the price of the mainboard is less expensive
while the CPU temperature is hot. :-)
