If they're the old 'system seven sound file' (sfil) format (used for alerts
etc pre OS X), you could do worse than download 'SystemSound Extension', a
freeware utility that effortlessly plays these files, and automatically
changes their default app from iTunes to itself. An added bonus is that the
sounds play 'in the finder' when double-clicked.
Using this in a script is simple...
tell app "SystemSound Extension" to open [sound file]
... wrapped in an 'ignoring application responses' block if you want the
script to carry on doing its stuff while the sound plays.
Another more scriptable alternative is 'PlaySound', written by a former
alumnus of this list (Jolly Roger). Either option will play those precious
'legacy' sound files - at least until you get round to batch-converting them
to aiffs with QT Pro. Find them on VersionTracker.
