I have been making do with catting files into /dev/audio and
/dev/dsp*, and I have managed to get xmix, but has anyone got
even a command line audio player that will look in the file and
set the audio up properly for the kind of file it is? That would
be awfully convenient. Making little one-shot programs with hardwired
ioctls is a pain.

I have to admit, I've cheated a bit... I am running 2.0.5-RELEASE with
the 2.1.0-951026-SNAP kernel source, so if anything has shown up in
the release, I might have missed it. :-)
