The following works as a .mailcap entry for netscape

       audio/x-mpeg;mpg123 -r 8000 -sm %s \
       | sox -t raw -r 8000 -ws -c 1 - -t au -r 8000 -U -b - \
       | audioplay

so you should be able to use

       mpg123 -r 8000 -sm - \
       | sox -t raw -r 8000 -ws -c 1 - -t au -r 8000 -U -b - \
       | audioplay
