I posted some patches to sound.c which will turn it into play.c.  Play
takes a file and a volume setting, and plays the file.  It can be used
with "rsh" since it doesn't use graphics.

I also have a program which will convert MAC-style audio files into SS1
format.

This is the patchfile:

The following ed script will convert /usr/demo/sound/sound.c into a
standalone program to play sound files on the Sparcstation I.  After
extracting the "patches" file, do the following:

ed /usr/demo/sound/sound.c < patchfile

The version of sound.c that this works on is:
-rw-r--r--  1 bin         37759 May 25 22:58 sound.c

This will create play.c in the current directory.  Just "cc -o play
play.c" to compile.  Its use is "play [-v volume] soundfile" where volume
is 0-10, the default is 7.  Since it doesn't use the screen, it will work
with rsh.

If anyone wants it, I have a quick-hack program to convert 8-bit binary
sampled audio (like the MAC uses) into the u-law format for the SS1, but
it is not very user-friendly.
