I haven't had good luck with cat. xmms works well, though. So does

I would start by trying to get the beep working first. You might also try
headphones in the headphone jack to see if anything is coming out there.
I tried several mixer programs, and the only one that seemed to work was
kmix. Unfortunately, that uses non-free qt. If nothing else works, you
could make a small program that issues a mixer ioctl to turn up the volume.
