If you want to test it, you can download an i386 core.img here :
http://www.sysif.net/~vincent/grub2/core.img
(built with *.mod)
And some other related things around it :

$ l grub2/

drwxr-xr-x  2 vincent vincent  4096 2005-07-05 12:35 songs

common.h & main.c are used to convert the songs (hard-coded in main.c)
into files readable by the play command.

The songs have to be grub2-readable : on a floppy, on a partition...

Would it enter the grub 2 cvs if I send a patch ?
Or maybe another project or cvs branch could be started, containing
less-interesting modules like this one.

> somebody might port it to other architectures

About porting (not especially "play" command), Marco introduced me to
Jeff Bailey, and we will start porting grub 2 to usparc (aka sparc 64,
aka sparc v9) architecture. I discussed with some #hurdfr people at the
LSM and they were interested in such port (Manuel Menal told me l4 works
on usparc :) ).
As a reminder of the current port status :
- - argument-less commands (like "exit") work
- - others lead to Fast Data Access MMU Miss
