Smallest v. basic command-line audio player?

[mb]

I'm looking for a tiny audio player. All i want it for is to play a beep when startup is complete. That kind of thing. I don't want to use the 'standard' linux beep, as that is the harshest, loudest sound known to man. So my only requirement is to play a basic wav from a command. therefore i'm hoping for a pretty tiny player.

Suggestions?

Try aplay, part of ALSA.

or ossplay if you use oss

ok the only issue i am having with aplay is that it prevents my mpd from playing (automatically), even with the -N flag, ('non-blocking). Any ideas?

With the right alsa configuration you could use "dmix" for having multiple clients play at the same time.
