You have to pipe it into an audio player (traditionally that was /dev/dsp IIRC but I don't think that's a thing anymore). aplay should work with the right flags.

It's not a thing anymore on modern (pulseaudio-enabled) Linux but you can still use applications that write to /dev/dsp by launching them with padsp.
