Another option you could use is calling Applescript from the command
line, to open, execute, and handle audio.

An easy example of this is with iTunes actually.  Once you get iTunes
down, doing this for other apps should be easy (if they have
applescript bindings):

You could probably also do what Kevin recommends, but depending on
your needs, this may be a whole lot more simple.
