sounds from the command line (why doesn't play work?)

[Rick Pasotto <rick@niof.net>]

I'm running debian/testing with gnome. I can use xmms to play sounds but
the 'play' command produces nothing. I have to kill it with ctl-c. Do I
have something set up wrong or should I use a different command to play
sounds from the command line?

"After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in
the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long
time continue, to rule is not because they are most likely to be
in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but
because they are physically the strongest." -- Henry David Thoreau
