On my Linux system, the following will play a wave file 
in a bash shell:
   mplayer tata.wav   NB. Check the doc of mplayer

  Using the task script, you could call mplayer from J:
   load'task'

   _1 fork_jtask_ 'mplayer tata.wav' 

   shell          'mplayer tata.wav' 

  Both will play a .wav file in sync, the first without an output, 
the second with the same output as in bash.

  To fork the play without waiting, use fork_jtask_ without a left arg.

  In J701, task.ijs is under /system/main .
