It looks like bakunin was missing a double quote (shown in red on the 2nd line in the script below), but a space between the test argument and the closing square bracket is crucial. Try:
Code:
ls | while read FILE ; do
     if [ -f "$FILE" ] ; then     # only process files (i.e. not subduers)
          command1 "$FILE"
          command2 "$FILE"
     fi
     [....]
done

NAME
audiocfg -- configure default audio device SYNOPSIS
audiocfg list audiocfg default index audiocfg test index DESCRIPTION
The audiocfg utility helps maintaining the audio and mixer device symlinks. Run with ``list'', it lists the available audio devices and shows the currently selected default audio device. Called with ``test'', it plays a tone of 2 seconds for each channel of the device with the index index. Called with ``default'', it sets the default audio device to the one with the index index. audiocfg needs access to /dev/drvctl and write access to /dev (when used with ``default'') to work. FILES
/dev/audio Symlink to default audio device. /dev/audio[0-9]* Available audio devices. /dev/audioctl Symlink to default audio control device. /dev/audioctl[0-9]* Available audio control devices. /dev/drvctl Used for finding the corresponding audio driver to an audio device. /dev/mixer Symlink to default mixer device. /dev/mixer[0-9]* Available mixer devices. /dev/sound Symlink to default audio device (for the difference to /dev/audio, see audio(4)). /dev/sound[0-9]* Available audio devices.
