The Finder can "preview" sound files (e.g. aiff) in column view. Is
there a way to play specific sound files in a script, without
launching iTunes or something? I can't find anything obvious in the
Finder or System Events dictionaries.
I wrote this for someone in the MacScripter BBS forums:

You can customize the sound you want to play by replacing the default
sound that's inside Jingle's application bundle. To do so, select
Jingle in the Finder, Control-click on it and choose "Show Package
Contents" from the popup menu. In the new window that appears, look
inside the /Contents/Resources/ folder for the "sound.aiff" sound file.
Take the sound file you'd like to use, rename it to "sound.aiff" and
copy it into the /Contents/Resources/ folder, replacing the original
one that was there.
The "LSUIElement" of the app (its Jingle.app/Contents/Info.plist
actually) to 1 so it runs invisibly, plays the sound and then quits
when it's finished.
