I'm looking for a way to play a wav file from STDIN that'll work with JACK.

mplayer -ao jack (or just mplayer without JACK) won't handle WAV files on stdin, for some reason.

	Cannot seek backward in linear streams!
	Seek failed

sox "play" won't work with JACK at all, nor does it appear to play from stdin anyway.

I need to do this because I'm playing wavpack'ed files: I need to do "wvunpack -o - filename.wv | SOMETHING - ". I do *not* want to have to unpack them to disk just to play them.
