There used to be a program called SoundCap that would let you digitize sounds
on the Mac (provided you had the accompanying digitizing hardware). There is
now a new, more extensible program called SoundWave that does the same job.

You need to make a folder inside your System folder and put the sound files 
you like into that folder. You then use CheapBeep to select the appropriate
folder, and then the sound file you want. You must specify the correct sampling
rate for the sound (these are the buttons numbered from 1 to 4 in the cdev).
Pressing the enter key will play the currently selected sound. Note that you
must reboot for this to take effect.
