This is playing the audio through sox, which is where this whole thread
started. No sound at all, and no output to the console to indicate that
sox is attempting to play the file.
I get a usage message from sox if I attempt the above:

play FAIL formats: no handler for given file type 'ao'
The sox-fmt-ao package is required for AUDIODRIVER=ao.
Thanks.  This will be fixed in the next snapshot.

I have tried the snapshot dated 2014-03-20, and I can confirm that all of the following commands work perfectly:

    cp ding.wav /dev/dsp
    cat ding.wav > /dev/dsp
    AUDIODRIVER=ao play ding.wav

Many thanks for all your work in fixing these.

Dave.
