Don't know why >/dev/dsp does not work (I get just noise), but you can use  
ogg123 (ogg-vorbis) and play for example .oga-files:

e.g.:

ogg123 alarm-clock-elapsed.oga

That works for me on 1.7.20.

It's been a while since I played with sound-output, don't know if you can  
play wav-files from inside cygwin at all.
