Their patch can no longer work since play used to be a script
but now its a binary (the sox binary itself).

The only two choices now are:

1) Add esd driver to SoX (probably not all that hard but
I'm not really interested in doing it.  ALSA's dmix allows
two programs to play to the same device and esd is probably
not got a much longer lifespan).

2) Make an alias of the play command so that it instead runs:

sox $* -t raw -r 44100 -sw -c 2 | esdcat

BTW, probably those "-t raw -r 44100 -sw -c 2" are just the
defaults for his sound card.  Probably, those values need
to change on a per-system basis anyways.  So probably the patch
wasn't generic enough to be included into SoX anyways.
