Or

* ? /path/to/mplayer $HOME/Audio/notify.wav
$HOME/Mail/inbox/

(but note that I've never used the latter syntax myself)

I prefer the more obvious look of the first example, though I am sure  
other prefer the more concise look of the second.

This is getting weird.  I tried your first example first, and it did
indeed work.  But I almost didn't know, because when mplayer is invoked
it automatically lowers the system sound from pcm 75:75 to pcm 6:6.  It
was just barely audible.  When I reset the sound via the command line
with the "mixer" command the same thing happens again.  I can't get the
system volume to stay at normal levels.  I have no idea why this is
happening.
