The *simplest* one is the one in the sound HOWTO:

    HOWTO> # play back sound
    HOWTO> % cat sample.au >/dev/audio

You won't find you can do a whole lot with the .au file you get that
way, but it does tell you you have the mic plugged into the right
jack, and have figured out how to use the mixer. I've had problems
with both of these issues in the past.
