I am looking for a program/tool which plays sound files like "play anything". I
tried some tools, but ...

"sox" says I have to change the rate (and often crashes).

"rplay" gives you only poor audio quality.

"nas" occupies /dev/audio and /dev/dsp so that for example xanim only plays 
silent movies.

"cat anything >/dev/audio" doesn't queue/mix the files and there is no
conversion.

Any suggestions?

Many thanX.

Oliver
