I am connected to a machine via SSH and I often need to listen to WAV files on that machine. I usually open another terminal window and do ssh host 'cat /path/to/sound.wav' | aplay, but that's tedious since I have to enter my password every time (I cannot use public-key authentication) and the file paths are long.
What I would like to do is start magic-command on my local computer, and then whenever I need to listen to a remote file, run play-locally sound.wav from the remote shell and hear the sound from my speakers. Is this possible?
