Sabastian, I didn't specifically check MATE, but I did check Ubuntu and have found a small player. It's called splay. So, in this case, different distributions might have different packages. Give it a try:
$ sudo apt install splay
Then just replace each reference to playsound above with splay, example:
$ splay short-school-bell-sound-effect.mp3
Great article. Very useful in today's DevSecOps world. I am guessing that it is a good open source alternative to proprietary products such as Coverity?
