I'll tell you how I do something very like what you specify. /etc/rc.local is your friend. In my case, I also use ~/.bashrc I find the audio files I want to use and stick them in /boot. I have names like /boot/boot.wav, /boot/login.wav, etc. That way, I can change sounds without editing anything. All I need do is copy the new sound to the existing filename. Now, in rc.local: aplay /boot/boot.wav This is also where you can launch any global apps you want to launch. In ~/.bashrc: aplay /boot/login.wav Why? Because sometimes I boot without speech, especially on my laptop, and I want to know without additional action on my part that I've successfully logged in. Put any additional per console login apps you want in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.
