I don't think the sox release on cygwin has sox's "play" command - i'll
have to triple check but i'm pretty sure it doesn't (because I wanted to
use it and it could not be found) - i think the version i still have is
some sox 12.x version - maybe cygwin has newer now? I updated
cygwin only a few months ago.
