If thats all you want to do you should go to the oss

this pdf file tutorial on how to write basic programs to record and play
from /dev/dsp. I used the tutorial to write a command line wav file
player for my zaurus. I did not want to use something large like
opie-mediaplayer or mplayer.
Sorry, I have to disagree with this advice.
The OSS audio sub-system is deprecated. ALSA is the future of audio
on Linux.
Even writing directly to ALSA is not too wise a move. I would instead
suggest writing to either JACK (if your program is for high end audio)
or ESD/PolypAudio for a desktop application.
