If the sound card is detected: 

.P1
; ls '#A'
\'#A/audio'
\'#A/audioctl'
\'#A/audiostat'
\'#A/volume'
; ls /dev/audiostat
.P2

You can check which pins are being used for input and output (output for Thinkpad x200): 

.P1
; cat /dev/audiostat
bufsize   1024 buffered      0
codec 0 pin 25 inpin 29
aout 16 c1d
aout 17 c1d
aout 18 211

This line `codec 0 pin 25 inpin 29` shows that pin 25 is being used for output
and pin 29 used for input. On my laptop, it is necessary to set the output pin
to 26: 

.P1
; echo pin 26 > /dev/audioctl
.P2

Now it's possible to play music: 

.P1
; audio/oggdec < music.ogg >/dev/audio
; audio/mp3dec < music.mp3 >/dev/audio
.P2
