How to play audio file in ubuntu terminal without using player?

Question

ubuntu

I want to use a sound file as a confirmation of successful work in the terminal. I tried through aplay, but I honestly admit that I don’t quite understand how it works.
I have to convert video files via ffmpeg and don't notice when the task ends.
Does anyone know how to do this or suggest another equivalent?

Answer 1

aplay file.wav, but as far as I remember it only supports wav files
