That may the same or similar to playwave.exe (Inteletek)

I would mention (for free 3rd-party utils),
wav.exe (wav.zip - http://archives.thebbs.org/ra121c.htm )
which has more options (Repeat, Volume, ESC to terminate) and can
play more than just .WAV files. Uses MCI.

WAV.EXE v2.65 - Command line audio file player
Copyright (c) 1998-2001 by WebGeek, Inc.

Usage: WAV filename[.wav] [/Q] [/Rn] [/Vn]

/Q Quiet mode - no header is displayed
/Rn Repeat 'n' times
/Vn Volume level

If no file extension is specified, .WAV is assumed.

WAV.EXE will continue playing the audio file until it finishes,
or the user presses the Esc key.
