You want to install the sox package. It'll convert from .wav to .au,
allowing you to play a .wav through `/dev/audio', using this command line:
sox file.wav -t au - >/dev/audio
where file.wav is the WAV file to be played. Sox is typically available as
a port or a package. Check your CD-ROM or pull it down from ftp.freebsd.org.

I've done this, again using `sox' to convert and manipulate what came off
the microphone. I no longer have the script I used to use, though, and
anyway I'm sure there's a more efficient way to do it than the method I was
using.
