Can my system play sound through GStreamer ?

Using GStreamer
You can test this by trying to play a sine tone. For this, you need to link the audiotestsrc element to an output element that matches your hardware. A (non-complete) list of output plug-ins for audio is jacksink for JACK output (not available yet) First of all, run gst-inspect on the output plug-in you want to use to make sure you have it installed. For example, if you use OSS, run $ gst-inspect osssink and see if that prints out a bunch of properties for the plug-in.

How can I play a sound sample?

Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
Sun workstation (.au) sound files can be played by sending them to the /dev/audio device. Raw samples can be sent to /dev/dsp. This will generally give poor results though, and using a program such as play is preferable, as it will recognize most file types and set the sound card to the correct sampling rate, etc. If you are running a graphical desktop such as KDE or GNOME then it should already include a graphical sound file player program.
