mplayer fits the bill perfectly imho and I'm not convinced that it's
that heavy - it actually uses very little memory when just playing a
sound file (mp3, ogg, wave). 

If you want a program to have "signal sounds" an external sound player
is bulky regardless of the player used. Jack itself also sounds a bit
overkill. This sounds like the use-case for system sounds, esd, pulse,
etc.
