I'm not sure what it is that you want to do. Do you want to play wav
files from the commandline or do you want to load them into memory and
then play them from there?

If the quality of SOX is bad then you are probably not using it
properly. Otherwise you can look at libaudiofile or libsndfile, both
of these support WAV file loading.
