I don't think Paul is actively maintaining the package anymore (I'm not
sure though...), so I don't think we should let the maintainer
decide :-)
  If I understand you correctly the audio package defaults to using
"ofsndplay" which only works on a Mac, and you want to change it to
"play" which (I'm guessing) only works on Linux/BSD. Is that correct? If
so, it might be better to let the default value depend on the Operating
System, i.e. something like

  if (ismac ())
    sound_play_utility = "ofsndplay";
  else
    sound_play_utility = "play -t AU -";
  endif

Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding things here...
