Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Sound under OS 10.4.11 and 10.7.2 Post 302567901 by xbin on Tuesday 25th of October 2011 12:09:51 PM

Well, qtplay isn't part of OS X. Do you have the audio bell set in your Terminal preferences? I have no idea why applescript isn't working but you can play sounds with afplay. Type the following for the proper syntax (the man page is sparse).
Code:
afplay -h

Of course there are a number of open source options.

SCSELECT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       SCSELECT(8)

NAME
scselect -- Select system configuration "location" SYNOPSIS
scselect [-n] [new-location-name] DESCRIPTION
scselect provides access to the system configuration sets, commonly referred to as "locations". When invoked with no arguments, scselect displays the names and associated identifiers for each defined "location" and indicates which is currently active. scselect also allows the user to select or change the active "location" by specifying its name or identifier. Changing the "location" causes an immediate system re- configuration, unless the -n option is supplied. At present, the majority of preferences associated with a "location" relate to the system's network configuration. The command line options are as follows: -n Delay changing the system's "location" until the next system boot (or the next time that the system configuration preferences are changed). new-location-name If not specified, a list of the available "location" names and associated identifiers will be reported on standard output. If specified, this argument is matched with the "location" names and identifiers and the matching set is activated. SEE ALSO
configd(8) HISTORY
The scselect command appeared in Mac OS X Public Beta. Mac OS X November 4, 2003 Mac OS X
