In summary, things can always be made as complicated as possible, but mpg123 which is so light seems to be a good generic sound/music player solution.
(no specific extra dependencies / no need of sox)

Code: Select all

apt show mpg123
And now vlc is installed by default, cvlc is available to play anything.
And I am a beep user (very useful for script warning messages).
