splay (in its latest version at least) can make use of Xavier Leroy's
pthreads package (that's version 0.6, the one included in glibc) and uses
one such thread to read ahead as many frames as you specify with the -t
option, eg splay -t 100 song.mp3 will read ahead 100 frames, and will not
be disturbed by random disk access. Works even with a P100 and IDE drive.

The fact that it can't pipe to a wav player could be due to its internal
wav player, but I'm not sure.
