Yes, and you can play other sound samples too.. If you use
'SOX' which can convert sound samples, you can play just
about anything..
There is also some MIDI programs, and a music player
that plays AMIGA ST-MOD music files..

Very easy to do.. Just make the source code fork() and
cat the sample to /dev/dsp..
Or you can send the sample data directly from rogue..
What I would like to see, is Sound under X..
