Did you check the mixer settings, though, to make sure the CD volume is turned up?

To play .au, just cat to /dev/audio: cat file.au > /dev/audio To get anything else, check out the 'sox' program. To play .wav's with it: sox file.wav -t au /dev/audio The midi driver connects to the midi port on your sound card, or the emulation thereof. Unless you have a wavetable-like card, fm is all you'll get. If you have a GUS or (in current) a SoundBlaster AWE32, you'll get real instruments.
