Description

Hello,

It would be nice if we could manually set the command (afplay, aplay) for systems that don't have those installed. Or maybe someone needs/wants to use another command for specific purposes.

For example on my computer I have archlinux (and it's probably true for other linux distributions), I don't have ALSA installed which has the aplay command, so this mode doesn't work for me. But I do have play which works the same, I would love to be able to change the setting in my config file.
