There are no "CD-quality wav files" (i.e. 16-bit PCM data) that I have come
across that sox can't handle.  Some people in the past liked to use sox to
pipe audio data to /dev/audio which by default can only handle 8-bit audio
and would sound bad.  The "play" script included with sox correctly plays
16-bit audio to /dev/dsp.

You may download the source code to compile sox from my web page at

Good luck,
Chris
