Lazarus doesn't include sound components. The Free Pascal's FCL does
include header translations though for many different sound libraries.
So you can use a procedural method of calling the API functions to do
what you want, or you could create a class that wraps the various API
calls into an easier to use interface. A few week back I posted sample
code of how we use SDL to play sounds in our application. Below is the
link to the discussion from the fpc-pascal mailing list.

I would not recommend the "console player" idea. The API method should
give you much better control.
