I know that I can use Applescript to play the current alert sound via the "beep" command. What I'd like to do is play any sound that is in the native sound format (in OS 9 it's System7 Sounds; in OS X I assume it's AIFF since that's what the alerts are). Do you know if this is possible?

if all else fails:

tell application "QuickTime Player"
open alias <your aiff file path here>
play movie 1
end tell
