Is there a simple sound player around that just plays a sound file without creating a playlist and all the complications that go with it? aplay does it for .wav files but not for .ogg files.
I typically use mplayer for a simple playback …
ie:
mplayer foo.ogg
but if you want something really simple and basic, ensure you have sox installed and then use “play” which comes with it, …ie
play foo.ogg
