Quite the same solution as Corona688; uses aplay to play wav files:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

while read line; do
	set -- $line
	while [ "$1" ]; do
		echo aplay "$1.wav" # remove echo to actually let aplay play the wav file
		shift
	done
done

exit 0

Example usage: ~/unix.com$ echo input_file | sh the_above_script.sh

Code:
~/unix.com$ cat input_file
one four five
two
three

~/unix.com$ cat input_file | sh the_above_script.sh 
aplay one.wav
aplay four.wav
aplay five.wav
aplay two.wav
aplay three.wav

Of course, remove the echo that prevent the aplay to do its job Smilie

CONVERT4CHAN(1) 					     convert4chan Manual Page						   CONVERT4CHAN(1)

NAME
convert4chan - is a utility for converting pairs of stereo impulse response files to to a single 'True Stereo' 4-channel files. ir.lv2 - LV2 IR reverb plugin supports these so-called 'True Stereo' impulses. USAGE
convert4chan /path/to/impulses/directory or cd /path/to/impulses/directory and run convert4chan DESCRIPTION
convert4chan is not itself a generally useful program, but just a utility with very limited scope, Error checking is limited; you are not supposed to run convert4chan on your / . You can use it to convert a full directory tree of stereo impulse response files with similar names that end with L.wav and R.wav to 'True Stereo' format, while your original files in directory stay untouched and can be later used as impulses as well. 'True Stereo' impulses are four channel impulses that describe a full convolution matrix (the four channels contain, in order, the convolu- tion paths L->L, L->R, R->L, R->R). convert4chan searching for stereo files named: root/somewhere/somethingL.wav root/somewhere/somethingR.wav and convert them to: root/somewhere/something4.wav convert4chan supports filenames ending in .wav by design, but it is possible that in future will supports other audio formats too (It could all audio formats supported by libsndfile in theory.) More information can be found on the project website http://factorial.hu/plugins/lv2/ir. AUTHOR
