I don't know what you meant by ``bypassing the OS''. Emacs uses the
OS interface to the sound device (ioctl, write, etc. system calls),
but if you were asking whether it calls the `play' utility internally,
then no, it doesn't. However, the system calls Emacs issues to play
the sound are supposed to be the equivalent of what `play' does.
