You were close:

	cat mysound.au > /dev/audio

.au files are raw audio so need no decoding. Problem is, there are no .au
files in the base system. If you have python installed (maybe it was
installed as a dependency) try /usr/local/lib/python1.5/test/audiotest.au
or if you have Tkdesk installed look in /usr/local/lib/TkDesk/sounds/
