There are now wavread and wavwrite functions in the current CVS Octave
(2.9.x branch).  Both functions are m-files though, and I think they
will work with older versions of Octave.

Does Octave with Cygwin know anything about Windows file names?  I
suspect you should be using

  [s,fs]=wavread ('/cygdrive/c/ocho.wav')

instead.  Or, if Windows filenames do work, then with older versions
of Octave, you will have to use

  [s,fs]=wavread ('c:\\ocho.wav')

because "\" is an escape character in Octave characters strings
(though this has changed in the 2.9.x branch of Octave for
single-quoted strings, for compatibility with the other leading
brand).
