most direct way to get audio file to sound card?

2003-10-19 Thread BSD baby
What's the most direct way to cat an audio file into the sound card?

The FreeBSD manual talks about wavplay or mpg123 or xmms, but what
if I just want to send an audio file to the sound card without an
application inbetween?




(Reason why - I want to make a quick shell script to play my flac
audio files.  I can use sox to convert to wav or raw on the fly,
but still can't get it to the sound card.)

sox file.flac -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

or use the /usr/local/bin/play command installed by the sox port, which
does the same thing.
