Actually, /dev/audioctl seems to me to be somewhat of a workaround
for the lack of an audio player (but then, /dev/*ctl always
smells of workaround to me). Is there a "real" use for /dev/audioctl
that I haven't thought of?

Also, .wav files (probably the most important format (besides
header-indifferent .au files) to have in a in-tree audio player)
have binary headers which I think gives an audio player plenty
justification.
