You got the syntax backwards.. you want to redirect the au file to
/dev/audio, not the other way around. Try

cat sample.au > /dev/audio

Hope that works...

P.S. If anyone knows why my SB16 crackles and pops while I try to play
mp3/ogg but works fine with .au and .wav files, feel free to let me know :P
