If you pick a command line player instead of something like xmms, you'll play 
your sound without popping up any annoying guis, which I assume is what you 
want.

Chances are, you have the 'play' command in your distro, which plays any .wav 
file, so just type :

play /stuff/garbage.wav

in the commandline box and you'll get the desired effect.

Cheers,
Jason
