We do have show(), so we could likely have play(),
Why should there be a different command for showing a plot, showing
a movie and showing (i.e., "showing to the ear") a sound file?
Well, you could of course extend show()'s capabilities (and probably
make play() just an alias), but I think different "players" should be
configurable, e.g. launching RhythmBox for audio files and some movie
player for videos, instead of (trying to) play them with a web browser, say.
Having to use show(some_audio_object) to listen to it would IMHO be
counterintuitive. (I'd rather expect it to launch some
oscilloscope-like application, or a sound editor.)
