Joseph,

I had better results with mplayer than any other player I tried.  
Mplayer will play the .wav, and the .WAV files,  which are the 
uncompressed and gsm encoded wavs.  I could only get xmms to play the 
uncompressed wavs, whichever one that is.  I tried several plugins and 
never got xmms to work with the gsm encoded wavs, although I could have 
been doing it wrong.  I was never able to get mplayer to play the .gsm 
files.  I tried vlc (videolan client) with some sucess with wavs but I 
ended up using mplayer.  You might also try realplayer/helix player, I 
never got around to trying it.
