sounds great! I'm quite new, so ich have some problems with this script.
have i got it right, that things i would have to change to fit my data and hardware are:

line 4: # $ ./play.sh myfile.mp4
and change "my file.mp4" to my data path

line 9: # card 1: Device [USB Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
and change "Device" to my usb sound card which would be "GIGAPort HD+"
