Re: Looking for "play"

In the past, when I wanted to play a wav file from the command line, I
invoked "play". I don't see that anywhere in the Ubuntu distribution.
I've done an "apt-cache search" and "apt-file search" for it, and it
doesn't show up.

Is this program available anywhere in Ubuntu? If not, (a) what command
line program is used in its place and/or (b) where would I find it to
compile for myself?

There is a search feature for just this sort of thing on Ubuntu's
website[1]. That being said, the program /usr/bin/play is found in
the package sox in the Universe repository.
