The only use case is for the generic output driver.
Current approach has hardcoded players and the user can decide to change
it in xyz-generic.conf as well.

pulse = paplay  (ok)
alsa = aplay (ok)
libao = play (maybe working ).
oss = play (maybe working)

We have only walid players for alsa and pulse.
play command often uses sox which could be compiled with the allmost
available outputs.
If we have a standalone player which uses the speechd audio
infrastructure, the generic drivers can use the prefered audiooutput
method of speechd without deppending to other player configuration.
HTH.
